[edit] Summary
| Description |
Photo of engraved battle scenes on the Ramesseum's First Pylon, Thebes. The Ramesseum has some of the Egyptian world's oldest surviving pylons. A pylon, or monumental portal to an ancient Egyptian temple, is usually comprised of two massive upward tapering walls flanking and perpendicular to the temples entrance. The First Pylon of the Ramesseum is approximately 69m long and 22m high, and marks the entrance to the Main Temple and the First Courtyard. Scenes from the Battle of Kadesh in Syria (in year 5 of Ramesses' reign) engraved into this wide outer pylon of the Ramesseum glorify the King's military might, despite that fact that he lost the battle of Kadesh. However, Ramesses' eventual triumph against Syria, starting in year 8 of his rule, finally subjugated the Hittites, many of whom became laborers contributing to Ramesses' monumental building projects. Ramesses' great military might arguably marks the greatest peak of Egypt's imperial power. |
