Nubia was very important to the Egyptians because it was a source of gold and many other precious trade goods, that's why the king built several grand temples there in order to impress upon the Nubians Egypt's might and Egyptianize the people of Nubia. As well as the Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself deity.

The great Abu Simbel temple is also called the Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari, the beloved wife of King Ramses II is also called the Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two temples, that of Ramses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God Amun together as one.
