. . .Moving towards the huge doorway of the great
temple, Ramesses let's it be known how he will deal with the Nine Bows
of Egypt. Faceing the sunrise,
the enemies of northern
Egypt are carved
into
the north wall, shown
as prisoners, bound together with papyrus. Egypt's
southern
enemies are depicted on the
south wall bound with lotus.
. . . .I'm sure this was a message, a giant billboard, warning anyone that ventured to this remote frontier outpost of the great Empire. "I'm Ramesses the great. You're in Egypt now. Beware, Do not oppose me!" |
