Ramesses II's colossi at Abu Simbel, printed with the geometry of the relocation that saved them: a diagram of the temple's 1,036-block move, 65 metres uphill and 208 metres inland. Site name, country and Pyramason's own catalogued coordinates, 22.336944° N, 31.625556° E, printed beneath the artwork. For people who know the temple standing today is a rebuilt one, and think that's the better story.

  • Engraved diagram showing the 1960s block-by-block relocation of the Great Temple
  • Exact coordinates (22.336944, 31.625556) printed beneath the artwork, pulled from Pyramason's own database
  • Site name and country (Egypt) clearly labelled
  • Soft, pre-shrunk cotton in sandstone-ochre and Lake Nasser blue colourways

Why this site. Abu Simbel is the rare monument whose modern history is as remarkable as its ancient one: a temple physically taken apart and rebuilt to survive a dam. Its twice-yearly solar alignment is real, dated and still observable, which makes it one of the few genuinely verified alignments in our whole catalogue.
