Info Hypostyle hall of the temple of Ramses II, Abu Simbel, Egypt. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel, which took about twenty years to build, was completed around year 24 of the reign of Ramesses the Great (which corresponds to 1265 BC). It was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the deified Ramesses himself. It is generally considered the grandest and most beautiful of the temples commissioned during the reign of Ramesses II, and one of the most beautiful in Egypt. The hall is 18 m (59 ft) long and 16.7 m (55 ft) wide and is supported by eight huge Osirid pillars depicting the deified Ramesses linked to the god Osiris, the god of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life and vegetation, to indicate the everlasting nature of the pharaoh. The colossal statues along the left-hand wall bear the white crown of Upper Egypt, while those on the opposite side (and depicted here) are wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt (called pschent). c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
Support -- Poco a poco (talk) 19:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)- Support Great, and I'm willing to accept the slight perspective distortion as a compromise necessary to get all of this interesting scene into the frame Cmao20 (talk) 00:51, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support exactly as Cmao20. --Aristeas (talk) 09:18, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support although it's a bit dark on the bottom right, it's relatively minor; the wow factor clearly outweighs this minor issue, IMO. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support per SHB2000, and I'm again angry at the 19th-century European vandals. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:51, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek, SHB2000: I'm not sure about the issue you pointed out. You mean that the background at the bottom right is darker? That area didn't get any light from the entrance, --Poco a poco (talk) 21:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- To clarify, I don't have a problem with darkness. The drawback I notice is some noise, but I am not asking you to change anything. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:24, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, I got you. Still, I applied a slight denoising in that area along with the edit mentioned below --Poco a poco (talk) 09:43, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

- Support The arm on the left in the background is a little irritating, but hardly noticeable.--Ermell (talk) 19:30, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Will address that as soon as I understand whether I need to fix something in the dark area on the right. Poco a poco (talk) 21:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
