 COLOSSAL PORTRAIT FIGURE OF RAMSES II AT ABU SIMBEL IN EGYPTIAN NUBIA Four such statues, seventy-five feet high, adorn the front of this temple. The face of Ramses II here really resembles that of his mummy. There is from this point a grand view of the Nubian Nile, on which the statues have looked down for thirty-two hundred years. The picture was taken from the top of the crown of one of the statues. (Photograph by The University of Chicago Expedition)
