This Upper Egyptian site is home to a remarkably well-preserved temple dedicated to the hawk-god Horus. The Ptolemaic temple of Horus, constructed on the grounds of an earlier temple, dates back to the reign of Ptolemy III (246 B.C.). The walls of the temple feature depictions of the myth of the battle between Horus and Seth, which was likely reenacted annually as part of a religious drama.
