Abu Simbel Hall EG02066JHP 
 Abu Simbel Great Temple Egypt interior entrance hall Osiride Statues Ramses 11 in Nubian style and with extensive wall reliefs but not of the best quality in terms of detail and style. A photograph like this is no longer possible as there is a total ban in all such tombs in Egypt although these were taken when it was permitted but tripods were not allowed and in the very poor light the best quality is not always achievable and very strong tungsten lighting was used on the internal white plastered walls giving a colour caste beyond the camera at the time to balance.
