Nefertari statue
Its statues in its small temple in Abu Simbel were completely symmetrical in length with the statues of the great king Ramses II, and this is a clear indication that it was of the same importance for the Pharaoh who depicted himself as the most powerful deities, and his statues and images were relatively larger than the statues of Pharaonic deities such as Amun and Horus
Nefertari Temple
The Temple of Nefertari, the Eternal Queen, is located at Ramses II to the north of the great "Abu Simbel" temple
Was Queen Nefertari killed
But it is very strange that a queen of such importance dies at this early age (40 years), despite her great favor with the pharaoh. Has she been killed? Or was she abused for violating the Pharaoh in a matter? Or it is the same "Mrs. Assia bint Muzahem" who sponsored Musa when he was young and believed in him!
