Temple of Hibis, Persian temple in Kharga Oasis, Egypt.
The Temple of Hibis features eight limestone columns supporting a monumental kiosk, with walls decorated in detailed reliefs depicting deities and royal figures.
Construction began during the 26th Dynasty around 588 BCE under Pharaoh Apries, with major additions by Persian ruler Darius I in 522 BCE.
The temple walls display over 700 depictions of Egyptian deities, including representations of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu in the Theban religious tradition.
Located 2 kilometers north of Kharga city, the temple requires conservation attention due to rising groundwater affecting its limestone foundations.
The walls of the hypostyle hall are shaped like giant papyrus rolls, containing inscriptions of hymns dedicated to the deity Amun.
