The Temple of Beit El Wali, the Viceroy House in English, located in Old Nubia, about 55 meters south of Aswan, is considered the oldest temples of King Ramses II in Lower Nubia, where it was devoted to the prayer of God Amun Ra.
The Temple of Beit El Wali was moved near the Kalabsha temple, south of the High Dam, in cooperation with Polish archaeologists and supported by the Swiss Institute. The Beit Al Wali Temple is distinguished by its presence carved into the rock, as it was the first in a series of temples that Ramses II built in the old Nuba area.
The Nubian temples established by Ramses II are part of a state-sponsored policy aimed at maintaining control of the country during the period of the modern kingdom in Egypt, and until that time there are clear inscriptions but unfortunately, important inscriptions have been removed, as they are located near the middle of the southern wall inscriptions that he drew Ramses II is preparing to gather his army personnel to fight a war against the Nubians.
King Ramses II lived for 91 years and ruled for almost seven decades, characterizing an era with important political and artistic changes that left an indelible mark on the country. When Ramses II died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings, after the rites of mummification were celebrated. In the tomb were placed the precious sarcophagi and the funeral equipment which, according to the ancient Egyptian religion, would have accompanied the deceased sovereign in the afterlife.
