How did Ramses II influence Egyptian architecture?

Ramses II commissioned many monuments and temples that followed established Egyptian architectural traditions, while emphasizing his own power through their size and decoration. Obelisks existed in Egypt long before his reign, so they were not introduced by him. Aten worship and the destruction of temples associated with older worship are linked mainly to Akhenaten, not Ramses II.
