Temple of Ramses II, Ramesseum. Also known as the Million Years Temple from 18th Dynasty. For hundreds of years the Ramesseum was a source of artefacts and papyri for museums and private collectors all over the world. Giovanni Belzoni was one of the largest legal plunderers of Egyptian antiquities providing the British Museum with a 7 ton statue of Rameses II from this temple, Egypt.
