The tale of Hibis temple

 

Located at the north of Kharga Oasis is the temple of Hibis, a well-preserved site dedicated to Amun.

 

 

A lake once surrounded the temple but no longer exists.

 

Its foundations date to the 25th Dynasty, with some of its walls decorated by the Persian king Darius, and later rulers.

 

‎‏The temple's carvings are distinct in style and themes: one scene stands out in which the god Seth battles the serpent Apophis, a symbol of chaos.
