Khirbet et-Tannur, Nabataean temple ruins on Mount Tannur, Jordan.
The temple complex features stone remains surrounding a paved court at the junction of Wadi Hasa and Wadi La'ban valleys.
First constructed around 8-7 BC, the temple underwent multiple building phases until reaching its final form in the second century AD.
Excavated sculptures reveal religious symbols including an eagle wrestling with a serpent, reflecting Nabataean spiritual beliefs and artistic methods.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through a steep path from the southeast, while many artifacts are displayed at Jordan Archaeological Museum.
The temple holds inscriptions referencing Qos, an Edomite deity corresponding to the Arab sky god Quzah, indicating religious connections across cultures.
