∙ 11y agoThe purpose of the Abu Simbel Temples is to worship the Pharaoh at the time which was Ramesses II. Also some people think it is because he had a battle between the Gods at this time so to say sorry for what he had done he built 2 temples. One was for the 3 Gods Ptah, Amun, Ra-Horakhty and the other one was for his favorite wife and daughter.
