The "Excavated Temple of Abu Simbel" is a renowned lithograph from the collection "Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1" by the Scottish artist David Roberts. Published in the mid-19th century, this work is part of a larger series that captures the grandeur and mystique of ancient Egyptian and Nubian monuments. David Roberts, who traveled extensively through Egypt and the Near East from 1838 to 1839, meticulously documented his observations through detailed sketches and notes. These were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, a prominent lithographer of the time, and published between 1846 and 1849.

The lithograph of the Excavated Temple of Abu Simbel is particularly significant as it depicts one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Egypt. The temple, originally carved out of a mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE, is renowned for its colossal statues and intricate carvings. Roberts' depiction captures the temple's grandeur and the imposing presence of the statues of Ramesses II, which stand guard at the entrance. His work provides a visual record of the site before the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s, which necessitated the relocation of the temple to prevent its submersion.

Roberts' lithographs are celebrated for their artistic merit and historical value, offering a glimpse into the 19th-century European fascination with the ancient world. His works contributed significantly to the Western understanding and appreciation of Egyptian antiquities. The "Excavated Temple of Abu Simbel" lithograph, like others in the series, combines artistic skill with documentary precision, making it an invaluable resource for historians, archaeologists, and art enthusiasts alike.
