The New Kingdom (circa 1550–1070 BCE) is a significant period in ancient Egyptian history characterized by significant prosperity, expansion, and monumental architecture. Ramsess II, also known as Ramses the Great, ruled during this period and is known for his extensive building projects, including the temples at Abu Simbel.
