Who built the most in ancient egypt?

If you didn't answer that with Ramses II then you haven't been listening!!! This was a mortuary temple for Ramses II and the first one we visited that had active archaeological excavation and reconstruction work occurring. There were more workers than tourists. The reconstruction is being led by Universities of Alabama and Rome. We both offered to assist but unfortunately our Southern US accent was not acceptable and our Italian was even worse! We still enjoyed seeing the temple. Ramses vision was that he wanted this temple to last a million years. Obviously he did not suffer from humility in any form. Looking out over the valley of the nobles, Anubis (the jackal) was guarding the current work site. Past the entrance and inside the open courtyard we discovered another victim of an earthquake. A 40m statue of red granite depicting ...(guess who) lay on it's back shattered. Percy Shelley wrote a poem on this statue called Ozymandias. The most significant discovery for us inside was the image of the sacred tree. It is onto the leaves that the God Toth (Ibis headed scribe) wrote the name of the Pharaoh. This tree was viewed as proof that he was Pharaoh. Sadly haven't found a tree with our names on the leaves yet... But we are still looking.
