كَانَ مُلُوكُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ الْقُدَمَاءُ يَبْنُونَ الْمَعَابِدَ.

وَيُزَيِّنُونَهَا بِالصُّوَرِ وَالرُّسُومِ، وَيُدَوِّنُونَ عَلَيْهَا تَوَارِيخَ وَقَائِعِهِمُ الْحَرْبِيَّةَ، وَإِذَا تَأَمَّلْتَ مَعْبَدَ الْأُقْصُرِ، رَأَيْتَ عَلَى جُدْرَانِهِ صُورَةَ الْمَلِكِ رَمْسِيسَ جَالِسًا عَلَى عَرْشِهِ وَحَوْلَهُ الْقُوَّادُ وَالْأُمَرَاءُ يَتَشَاوَرُونَ، وَرَأَيْتَ صُورَةَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ وَفِيهِ جُنُودُهُ الْمُدَرَّبُونَ، وَقَدْ هَاجَمَهُمُ الْحِثِّيُّونَ، وَرَأَيْتَ رَمْسِيسَ فِي صُورَةٍ أُخْرَى وَهُوَ يَهْجُمُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ، فَيَفِرُّونَ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ جَمَاعَاتٍ، وَيَهْرُولُونَ طَالِبِينَ النَّجَاةَ فِي الْحُصُونِ.

They would decorate them with pictures and drawings, and record upon them the histories of their military battles; if you contemplate the Luxor Temple, you will see on its walls the image of King Ramses sitting on his throne, with the commanders and princes around him consulting one another, and you will see the image of the military camp with his trained soldiers in it, as the Hittites have attacked them, and you will see Ramses in another image as he attacks his enemies, so they flee from his face in groups, and run seeking safety in the fortresses.
