Summary

Description

English: The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples in Abu Simbel in Nubia, southern Egypt. They are situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan

العربية: أبو سمبل هو موقع أثري يضم اثنين من صخور المعبد الضخمة في جنوب مصر على الضفة الغربية لبحيرة ناصر نحو 290 كم جنوب غرب أسوان. وهو جزء من منظمة اليونسكو لمواقع التراث العالمي المعروف باسم "آثار النوبة"، والتي تبدأ من اتجاه جريان النهر من أبو سمبل إلى فيلة (بالقرب من اسوان).

المعابد المزدوجة كانت أصلا منحوتة من الجبال في عهد الملك رمسيس الثاني في القرن ال 13 قبل الميلاد، كنصب دائم له وللملكة نفرتاري، للاحتفال بذكرى انتصاره في معركة قادش. ومع ذلك، ففي 1960 تم نقل مجمع المنشآت كليةً لمكان آخر، على تلة اصطناعية مصنوعة من هيكل القبة، وفوق خزان السد العالي في أسوان.

وكان من الضروري نقل المعابد لتجنب تعرضهم للغرق خلال إنشاء بحيرة ناصر، وتشكل خزان المياه الاصطناعي الضخم بعد بناء السد العالي في أسوان على نهر النيل. ولا زالت أبو سمبل واحدة من أفضل المناطق لجذب السياحة في مصر.
