The Temple of Amun

Temple of Amun, also known as the Temple of Umm Ubaydah was erected by pharaoh Nectanebo of the 30th Dynasty. It is located 200 m further along the track between the Temple of the Oracle and Cleopatra Spring. Nothing left from this temple except a wall with hieroglyph inscriptions. It’s now a ruin, thanks to bombardment made by an Ottoman governor in order to acquire building material. Some amateur, non-licensed so-called historians said that the German use it as a shelter during WWII, worsening its former condition.
