The Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II commissioned numerous colossal statues of himself across ancient Egypt. The most renowned are those flanking the entrance to the main temple at Abu Simbel. Another famous statue long stood in Cairo's station square before being relocated, while a recumbent statue remains preserved in Memphis.[1]
