Temple – chapel of Thot Qasr el-Aguz

Temple – chapel of Thot
Qasr el-Aguz
This is a small temple-chapel
with a courtyard and three rooms.
This temple-chapel had been constructed by
Ptolemy VIII
Euergetes II
and it is dedicated to Thot-ibis
a special form of Thot referred to in the liturgies of the cult of Djeme.
Thot is the Greek name for Djehuty
The Ptolemaic dynastic cult is represented here in the third room, the sanctuary.
The temple is very close to the mortuary temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu
The guard with the key to this place
was at Medinet Habu and the ticket was sold from the same ticket office as all the tickets to the nobles tombs
