| Abstract This paper investigates “The Unusual Deification scenes of Ramses II in Lower Nubian Temples”. Ramses II appeared in many scenes as a deified king in Lower Nubian Temples; but the most prominent or unusual and important scenes in which he appears as a deified king are illustrated here in this paper. The figure of the deified Ramesses II occurs in all his Nubian temples apart from Beit El-Wali, which was constructed before his deification. The image of the deified Rameses II was one of the main themes in the Nubian temples. Rameses Il was one of the greatest pharaohs of ancient Egypt. He was so filled with the sense of his own importance as a pharaoh. He appeared as a deified king in six temples in Nubia and the most important one was the Great temple of Abu Simbel.
