View of the pillar hall

View of the great pillared hall that measures 18 metres by 16 metres and has two rows of four pillars to which the eight colossal statues of the king are leaning, rising to the ceiling (about 9 metres). The sovereign wears the loincloth of representation, a false beard and in his hands holds the heqa sceptre and scourge. In the foreground is the entrance wall to the second pillared hall: it depicts the god Ra-Horakhty with a hawk's head and sun disk. In front of him must have been an image of Ramesses II, which has been lost.
