Visited: Yes on 29th Apr 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Temple of Khnum, Esna submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Jan 2006. Front of the Esana Temple of Knuhm. This temple was largely constructed by the Ptolemeys but all the reliefs were finished by the Romans. The temple was largely buried under the town and some parts still remain buried.

Also, cartouches for most Roman emperors from Tiberius to Caracalla can be found carved on the temple.
