Abstract
WE´VE LOOKED at a lot of modern engineering recently in this column, so I thought it might be time to get back to the originators of the big engineering statement. Ancient Egypt was a land of extravagant architectural gestures but few Pharaohs came close to Rameses the Great (c1303-c1213 BC) when it came to proclaiming his glory in stone, and nowhere did he do this better than in the temples he built at Abu Simbel.
