For a photo and interesting facts about this once magnificent monument, The Mortuary temple of Ramesses II -

It's such a pity it's half ruined though, as with other monuments.

Thanks for sharing that! I can imagine that would have looked stunning when it was in its heyday. It's such a shame that so many of those beautiful buildings have suffered but I guess time takes its toll. I can't help wondering if the Egyptians could have done something to help preserve them a long time ago.

Yes, I've often wondered that myself.

The program on Ramesses UK channel 5 20/1/2009 did make an interesting comment which improved my opinion of Ramesses slightly - all previous battle reports were just basicly the Enemy saw pharoh and ran away. This is the nearest thing to a confession of error I know of.
