SMALLER ROCK TEMPLE OF RAMESES II. ABU SIMBEL. Rameses II reigned powerfully for nearly seventy years, butdisastrously for Egypt. His conquests cost the country dear, andit never again rose to prominent or permanent prosperity. Heleft gigantic monuments of his victories, from Abu Simbel inNubia, to Beyrout in Syria. Of all his many sons (he is said tohave had 117) none were fit to maintain his power, and all hissuccessors were unable to rule his vast dominions. After Ramesesthe Great, Egypts greatness began to wane, and never again held itsprominence among nations. ~ 32. Sety II (1189-1184 B.C.) leaves a few marks of his shortreign. This is a portion of an encaustic tile (blue ground)which I found in the ruins of Karnak, showing that he hadworked there in adorning the temple. 259.
