The Small Temple at Abu Simbel is located north of the Greater Temple in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It was carved in the rock by Ramses II and dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty, and also to his favorite wife, Nefertari. The facade is adorned by six statues, four of Ramses II and two of Nefertari. Most unusually, the six are the same height, which indicates the esteem in which Nefertari was held. The entrance leads to a hall containing six pillars bearing the head of the goddess.
