The Egyptian ruler who had a temple to himself carved in a cliff along the Nile at Abu Simbel was Ramses II. He built the temple complex in the 13th century BCE to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh and to showcase his power and status as a pharaoh. The temple complex consists of two temples, one dedicated to Ramses II himself and the other to his queen, Nefertari.

What form of art is special to Egypt?

How were the ancient Egyptian monuments moved?
Most Ancient Egyptian monuments are in the same locations where the Ancient Egyptians built them. Only a small handful (most famously the Temple of Abu Simbel) were transported and rebuilt elsewhere. In the case of the Temple of Abu Simbel, the reason it was transported was that in its original location, it would be in the floodplain of Lake Nasser (an artificial lake that would be created as a result of the Aswan High Dam). The Temple of Abu Simbel was cut up into blocks and each block was numbered, documented, and wrapped for transport, and reassembled on another site. The process was slow and delicate, but eventually, the Temple was successfully moved out of the Lake Nasser floodplain. The Temple of Debod (which was relocated to Madrid as an act of friendship between Egypt and Spain) was transported in the same manner as the Temple of Abu Simbel, but there were fewer pieces going over a longer distance. As for the several obelisks carted out of Egypt in the Victorian period, these monuments are relatively easy to transport whole (similar to Statues and the like) and were typically dislodged from their Egyptian location and brought by boat to foreign destinations like London or New York.
