dc.descriptionThe forecourt, frontal view of the east wall, depicting reliefs; During the reign of Ramesses II many temples were built in Nubia, the earliest of which is the rock temple of Beit el-Wali (now re-erected at New Kalabsha, near Aswan). Here a narrow hall, originally covered with a barrel vault rising from a cavetto cornice, gave access to a transverse hall, the roof of which was supported by two rather squat polygonal columns. Alterations had been made during the construction of this temple; originally one door led from the outer hall, but two more were added when statue niches were placed in the transverse hall.
