Medinet Habu - Page 8 of 8 www.egypt-on-line.co.uk

Behind the first pylon at Medinet Habu on the left is this hunting scene, the only one of its type found in Egypt.

Ramses III is shown on his chariot with spear in hand chasing a bull towards the Nile after already killing two bulls that are shown laying on their backs. Only Ramses would be allowed to kill the bulls whilst his hunting party, shown at the bottom here, would hunt the smaller animals. Isn't is great when you can write your own history!
