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!
