Sesebi, Archaeological site in Northern State, Sudan.
The remains of Sesebi extend 270 meters in length and 200 meters in width, featuring a systematic grid pattern of streets and residential blocks.
The temple town was established during the reign of Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten and appointed viceroys to manage the settlement.
The main temple complex contains three chapels dedicated to Egyptian deities Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, arranged around a central courtyard.
The archaeological site stands on the western bank of the Nile River, directly opposite the town of Delgo in Sudan's Northern State.
Three original columns from the central chapel remain standing, with decorative elements added during the reigns of Sethos I and Ramesses II.
