The first temple was built by the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Amenhotep III and subsequently restored by Ramesses II. The second larger temple which was built at el-Sebua was known as “The Temple of meryamun Ramesses II in the Domain of Amun“ and constructed roughly 150 m northeast of Amenhotep III’s temple. Wadi El Sebou Temple Nubia, Nasser Lake Name Wadi el-Seboua means the Valley of the Lions and comes from Arabic because of the sphinxes guarding the temple. It lies about 100 kilometers away from the city of Aswan and it was one of the relocated monuments during the UNESCO Rescue Operation. Only the two pylons and the rock cut part survived, and in the surroundings there are 2 colossi of Ramses, one upright, one fallen and 8 fine Sphinxes guard the temple that have the images of African and Asiatic prisoners in their bases.
