    This impressive colossal statue stands in the First Courtyard of the Karnak Temple, directly in front of the Second Pylon.

    Meaning: The red granite statue depicts the pharaoh in all his power. Between his legs stands a significantly smaller figure of his daughter and later wife, Meritamun (often identified as Princess Bent-Anta). This placement symbolizes the father's protection and royal authority. The statue was originally begun by an earlier ruler (likely Amenhotep III), but Ramses II claimed it for himself (“usurped”), as evidenced by the carved cartouches bearing his name.

    In front of the large pylon that borders the courtyard to the southwest, two obelisks, four standing figures, and two seated figures of Pharaoh Ramses II were placed in antiquity. Today, only the two seated figures, one standing figure, and one obelisk remain.
