temple, ancient ruins
littel remains of Temple of Amun (today called Umm al Beida), built under Pharao Nektanebos II (NK, 30 Dynasty). Nevertheless the site gives an impression of the size of the temple
I added two drawings on how the temple appeared in 1819 and 1820 (drawings made by Linant de Bellefonds and Baron Von Minutoli)
