In addition to the obelisks, twin colossi of the pharaoh were erected on either side of the entrance to the temple, along with four standing statues. Sadly, only one of the standing figures remains. However, both seated colossi retain their place. Made of black granite, they reached 46 feet (14 meters) in height. Ramses is depicted wearing the striped nemes headdress of pharaoh topped by the pschent or double crown of Egypt. On his brow rears the mighty uraeus (rearing cobra), who duty it is to protect the king. Next to the king's right leg, stands the small figure of a woman believed to be Pharaoh's beloved queen Nefertari. I feel I should point out here that the size of the figures in Egyptian art have nothing to do with whether the person was a man or a woman, and everything to do with the importance of the one being depicted. Due to his position as a god as well as king, Pharaoh naturally was of the utmost importance to Egypt and, therefore, is always shown much, much larger than anyone near him — or, as in the case of the Pharaoh Hatshepsut, near her.
