The Temple of Ain el-Muftella in the Bahariya Oasis

The Temple of Ain el-Hilweh Muftella had served in the city center of El Qasr, which is now in the modern city of Bawiti in the oasis of Bahariya. Probably built in the Dynasty 26th, despite the fact that some sections of the temple may date from before the modern state. The temple was probably added by the Greeks and the Romans in later.
We know that parts of the temple was built by a high priest named Zed - Khonsu - efankh brother, Saba, Khonsu was governor of the region during the reign of Ahmose II. After the death of Sheba - Khonsu, Zed - Khonsu - efankh also assumed the role of his brother as governor.
Honorary investigation at the site in 1939, which led to the erroneous view that the structures were four booths separated. However, when the site was examined again in 1977, it was decided that these structures are indeed one of the temples.
Central temple, in fact consists of four booths adorned with relief and sank in a similar style to what one might find in other Egyptian temples in this period. First Church, which has two large has jumped once painted ceilings with geometric designs. Each of the corridors were lined with small storage room.
Has such a rural churches in Egypt, which was required to serve as a place of worship for public purposes for a number of different gods. Zed is seen in the first room is - Khonsu - efankh, and sometimes his brother Khonsu Shebeen, along with Ahmose II, the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, standing for the offerings to the gods of the thirteen, who include Mahesa, Bastet, Amun, death, Khonsu, Harsaphis ( Heryshaf or Arshaphes), Hathor, Thoth, Nehem Awa (wife of Thoth), Amon (Cape ram), Anubis and Isis. In some cases, and God (the God of Western Sahara) and is included in the procession.
Another series of patterns represent the entrance to the Permanent Ahmose II, with the ankh on the right side of the Goddess hippo, Taweret, Horus and Hathor, the cow goddess. Behind them is another scene depicting children, and to identify the various gods and goddesses and the goddess Maat with his pen, facing the gods Montu, Horus and Sekhmet.
In the second chapel, which was also probably built by Zed - Khonsu - efankh, we find a scene depicting the priests with the worship of Osiris shaved his head. Another scene shows Zed - Khonsu - efankh, Saba, Khonsu and Ahmose II before a similar march of the gods, as is the case in the church first, but with the addition of Seshat, the goddess of writing. Other scenes in this exhibition Chapel of the Sisters of Osiris mourning his death, along with a list of names of different gods.
Wall of the right of the entrance to the chapel the second shows a scene depicts a priest known for making offerings to Osiris, and then standing in front of King Thoth. In the western wall is the mummified Osiris.
Chapel-third may have been almost exclusively dedicated to the goddess of music. There are two entrances on each side of the church, built with dolerite, sandstone, and one wall of this product to a church dedicated a great personality of this machine, unless the lower half remains.
Chapel of the fourth, and perhaps also from Bani Zeid, Khonsu - efankh, and perhaps more simply, made of bricks and stones, but may not have drawn. Only notable scene in this prayer is Ahmose II in the presence of Khnum and Horus.
There are a number of artifacts have recovered from the temple over the years. This results in the first chapel consists of a statue of the goddess Bastet, a slogan of the stone head of Hathor, a statue of the king is not known, and another statue of Thoth, and fragments of a vessel of bronze.
