N24.02551 E32.88446
Elevation 122 Meters.
East-West orientation.
Egypt was the bread basket of Rome and Trajan was very eager to maintain good relations with the Egyptians when he built this charming enclosure in 105 CE. It was probably used as a resting place for visiting dignitaries. The reliefs show Trajan offering paying his respects to Isis, Osiris and Horus.
This structure was also saved from its watery resting place in the late 70s, well after all the other Nubi...

This small square chapel is located to the south-east of the main Philae temple between the colonnade and Trajan's Kiosk.
Emhotep was originaly the architect of Jozer who built the stepped pyramid at Saqquara. Later he was deified as he was seen as a favourite of Thoth. Eventually he became an Egyptian version of Aesclaepsius, the healing god.

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.
It is unique in that all the columns in the Hypostyle hall are different.
Also, cartouches for most Roman emperors from Tiberius to Caracalla can be found carved on the temple.

Deir El Medina Village submitted by AlexHunger on 7th Jan 2006. This is the Village of the workers that built the tombs in the valley of the kings and queens. In the New Kingdom, the pharaos prefered stealth for their tombs and kept tight security on the west bank of the nile. A separate caste of artisans lived there just to built the tombs and no one else was allowed there in order to avoid tomb robbers. Even the Pharao only visited the west bank twice, once to chose the location of his tomb, and once to move in... permanently.
