Arundel Castle was built in 1068 during the reign of Edward the Confessor as a fortification for the River Arun and a defensive position for the surrounding land. The original structure was a Motte and Bailey castle before undergoing an extensive renovation during the reign of William the Conqueror which enlarged the motte and improved the defences. Roger de Montgomery is believed to have been declared the first Earl of Arundel as William the Conqueror granted him the property as part of a much larger package of hundreds of manors. (For other reasons, the generally accepted first creation of the title Earl of Arundel lies in the year 1138 with William d'Aubigny, confirmed in 1155).
After Roger de Montgomery died, the castle reverted to the crown under Henry I. The King, in his will, left Arundel Castle and the attached land to his second wife Adeliza of Louvain. In 1138, three years after Henry's death, she married William d'Albani II (aka d'Aubigny, the first Earl, of the d'Aubigny family of Saint-Martin-d'Aubigny in Normandy). William was responsible for creating the stone shell on the motte, thus increasing the defence and status of the castle.
Arundel Castle and the earldom have passed through generations almost directly since 1138, with only the occasional reversion to the crown and other nobles for a brief time. Since the Aubigny family first received the castle, changes have been made and the castle has been re-structured to meet the requirements of the nobility at the present time.
In 1132, the Empress Matilda was invited to stay at Arundel for some time during her travel to impress her claim to the English throne upon Stephen. The stone apartments constructed to accommodate the Empress and her entourage survive to this day.
In 1176, William d'Aubigny died and Arundel Castle then reverted to the crown, under Henry II, who spent a vast amount of capital re-structuring the building, mainly for domestic needs. When Henry died, the castle remained in the possession of Richard I ("the Lionheart"), who offered it to the Aubigny family line under William III comte de Sussex. The last in the Aubigny male line was Hugh, who died at a young age in 1243. When his sister Isabel wed John FitzAlan of Clun, the castle and earldom returned to him. The FitzAlan family enjoyed an uninterrupted hereditary line until 1555.
Upon the death of the seventh Earl in 1272, Arundel Castle and the earldom passed to his five-year-old son Richard. Thirteen years later, Edward I granted Richard the right to hold two fairs per year at the castle as well as the power to collect taxes. This grant provided funding for the much needed renovation of the castle, which, by this time, had fallen into disrepair. Once sufficient funds were available, FitzAlan added the well tower and re-constructed the entrance to the keep. After Richard's death, his son Edmund was executed for his part in the rebellion against Edward II. Arundel subsequently passed to the 6th son of Edward I who was also executed. The castle and titles passed back to the FitzAlans four years later.
The tenth Earl, Richard, fought at the Crécy with Edward III and the Edward, the Black Prince. FitzAlan was also responsible for the building of the FitzAlan Chapel, built posthumously according to his will.
The eleventh Earl, Richard, was treated harshly by Richard II. At the funeral of the Queen Anne, the Earl was beaten for arriving late and asking to leave early. Richard II eventually grew tired of his treachery and executed the Earl before confiscating his property. Arundel was given by the crown to John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter, but when he was executed by Henry IV, Arundel was returned to the FitzAlan line once again. The next earl, Thomas, married the daughter of John of Portugal. The couple eventually became the first members of the FitzAlan family to be buried in the chapel built by Richard FitzAlan, the tenth Earl.
The FitzAlan line ceased when Mary FitzAlan, daughter of the nineteenth earl, married Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk. The crown seized Arundel upon his execution for conspiring to marry Mary I of Scotland, in 1572.
A relief thought to be that of Queen Nefertari beneath the right leg of the northern colossus of Ramses II (Ramses the Great, ruled 1279-1213 BC) at the Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, located some 860 km (534 mi.) south of Cairo on the shore of Lake Nasser in Aswan Governorate, Egypt. The temple, and the adjacent Temple of Hathor, was constructed during Ramses II's reign on the true left bank of the Nile. Over time the temples were nearly buried in sand. In March, 1813, the Swiss geographer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered the upper portion of the Great Temple extending above the sand and told the Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni of his find. In 1817 Belzoni succedded in entering the temple. By the turn of the century both temples had been fully excavated. The site faced permanent inundation due to construction of the Aswan High Dam between 1960 and 1970 some 280 km (174 mi.) downstream and UNESCO undertook to move the monuments to higher ground. Between 1964 and 1968 they were dismantled, with each piece numbered, and then reassembled some 65 m (213 ft.) higher. An artificial mountain with the contours of the original location was built and the temples were oriented exactly as they had been, thus replicating the original site. The temples at Abu Simble are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1979 as Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae.
Located on the western bank of the largest man-made lake in the world, Lake Nasser, Abu Simbel temples were built in the 13th century BC. The temples were dedicated to King Ramses II and his wife, Nefertari. Both temples were found underwater and, with the help of UNESCO, the temples were cut up into more than 100,000 cubes and relocated to their current location. The pictured temple is the one dedicated to Queen Nefertari. At the innermost alter lies the statue of King Ramses II. Amazingly, the sun only shines on the head of the statue on the King's birthday and coronation day.

The story of the following photos goes like this. We were all relaxing on the deck of our ship, tanning in the harsh Egyptian sun, when we hear some yelling, and see a whole collection of these boats coming towards us while we were waiting to pass through the loch. These men had absolutely no reservations about hooking on to our still moving boat, and they were obviously seasoned professionals! It was quite thrilling to witness this, being that I had never experienced it before. They all collected around our ship once they realized we were willing to purchase items, and began throwing things up on deck for us to look at. We could then haggle with them over the price, and they would throw another item up for us to put money in (they were in plastic bags), to throw back down. It was quite a fascinating experience! The following portraits are of these amazing men who make their living on the magical waters of the Nile.

To the north of the Great Temple of Ramses II is the Temple of Hathor (also known as the Small Temple of Abu Simbel).
It was originally situated on a rocky promontory reaching out towards the Nile and separated from the Great Temple by a sand-filled valley.
The temple was dedicated to Hathor, goddess of love, and to the deified Nefertari, Ramses' wife. During the Nile inundation, it could be reached directly from the river by way of a quay of which no trace survives.
The 12-meter-high facade is hewn from the rock in imitation of a pylon with a cavetto cornice (now missing).
In the rock face, the Royal Steward and Scribe Iuni of Heracleopolis, who was probably in charge of the construction of the Abu Simbel temples, had himself represented in the act of demonstrating his devotion to his royal and divine master

Nefertari, Ramses II's favorite wife, has a gorgeous temple next to his. 😍
— with Robbie Cohen at Abu Simble Twin Temple
Perhaps after the Giza pyramids, or coincident with them, the great temple of Abu Simbel presents the most familiar image of ancient Egypt to the modern traveler and reader. When the conservation efforts to preserve the temple from the soon-to be built High Aswan Dam and its rising waters were begun in the 1960s, images of the colossal statues filled newspapers and books. The temples were dismantled and relocated in 1968 on the desert plateau, 200 feet above and 600 feet west of their original location.
The temple is dedicated to the deities Re-Harakhty, Amun, Ptah and Ramesses II himself. Four huge seated colossi of Ramesses II dominate the massive façade.Above the doorway in a recess, is the sculpted statue of the falcon-headed god Re-Harakhty.

Beyond the Hypostyle Hall, you come to the Vestibule, which is divided into three aisles by four square pillars. On the sides of the pillars are representations of Ramses II being received into the company of the gods.
Don't Miss: Look up at the south wall to see the barque of Amun-Re. The barques are borne in procession, preceded by the pharaoh and his wife Nefertari making offerings of food and incense
