Temple of Khnum

The sanctuary of Khnum on Elephantine has a long religious history, but much of the surviving monumental temple evidence belongs to the Late, Ptolemaic and Roman periods, with earlier phases beneath and around it. The previous description incorrectly presented the standing temple as a sandstone monument built under Ramesses II. Its importance lies in the long-lived cult of Khnum and the archaeology of Elephantine’s sacred southern zone.
