Oracle of Amun, Temple complex in Siwa Oasis, Egypt.
The Oracle of Amun consists of sandstone structures positioned on a flat rock formation, featuring rooms for ceremonies and religious gatherings.
The temple reached its peak influence during the 26th Dynasty when Alexander the Great visited in 332 BCE to confirm his divine status.
The temple served as a center where priests interpreted messages from Amun, attracting visitors from across the Mediterranean seeking guidance.
The temple remains are accessible through a marked path within an abandoned village, located three and a half hours by car from Marsa Matrouh.
Two black priestesses from the Temple of Amun at Thebes established this oracle near the Spring of the Sun, connecting it to natural elements.
