The most obvious of all pieces of the Bubastis site is the statue of Hathor. You will see it even before you have passed the ticket office. It rises about 7 metres plus the platform, and I would say it is quite an impressive sight. Standing so alone, there is something Ramses 2-like over her. But in Hathor's case, Ramses 2's appearance is only 2 small statues lying on the ground in the Temple of Bastet divided into its original 3 pieces. To the right of the ticket office is a rather pathetic park of statues. Its layout is too large for the content, but a couple of the statues are worth a closer look, and perhaps the 1 metre long Sphinx is the most appealing to most visitors.
