Inner Sanctuary Statues
#160133022
The inner sanctuary contains seated statues of the gods Ptah, Amun-Ra, the deified Ramses II, and Re-Horakhte. The Temple was purposely oriented so that twice every year, on 22 February and 22 October, the first rays of the morning sun shone down the entire length of the temple to illuminate the statues of the four gods seated there.
