Four giant statues of Ramses II (one is missing
its head) sit outside the largest temple at Abu
Simbel in Egypt. Each statue is 65 feet (20
meters) tall and weighs almost 2.5 million pounds
(1.1 million kilograms). That's as much as 170
elephants!

Visitors look tiny compared to these 30-foot-tall
(9-meter-tall) statues of Ramses II in a temple
in Abu Simbel.

In this ancient painting, Ramses II is drawn much
larger than life to exaggerate his size and his
power. Ramses II is also known as Ramses the
Great.

OzymandiasBy percy bysshe shelley

• Sonnet a poem of fourteen lines that follows a
  strict rhyme scheme and specific structure
• Published in 1819, in competition with his friend
  Horace Smith who wrote a similar poem, also
  called Ozymandias but later re-named
• The central theme of "Ozymandias" is the
  inevitable complete decline of all leaders, and
  of the empires they build, however mighty they
  may be
