Ramesses II giant statue in Karnak

Photo of the impressive statue of Ramesses II pharaoh in Karnak temple (Upper Egypt).
The perspective of the photo let us think that the statue is as high as the palm tree behind... but it's not. Only priests or god related people were allowed to enter Karnak temple where mysterious ceremonies complying with precise and complex rituel took place with a view of making the univers work properly.
