Temple of Ellesyia

The Temple of Ellesyia features a corridor with two side chambers, decorated with wall scenes depicting offerings to Egyptian and Nubian gods.

Pharaoh Thutmosis III constructed this sandstone temple during the 18th dynasty, around 1454 BC, dedicating it to Amun, Horus, and Satis.

The temple walls display religious scenes and hieroglyphic inscriptions that document ancient Egyptian worship practices and royal ceremonies.

Visitors can now explore the reconstructed temple at the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, following its relocation from its original Nile location.

During the 6th century, the temple transformed into a Christian worship site, with crosses and pentagrams carved over earlier Egyptian religious scenes.
