Temple of Mut

the walkway and fallen columns of the temple

A little ways from the main necropolis and remains of the Temple of Amun lies a much smaller temple dedicated to the goddess Mut and Khonsu. Mut is an asiatic goddess worshipped in the Delta.

A long walkway leads to the temple, which lies some distance from the main necropolis and temple of Amun. The entire site looks like a castle of stone knocked aside by an unruly child. The excavations continue; the French have been working on the site for years.

the temple sits in a small wadi in the hills at Tanis

Only a few columns arranged in a roughly rectangular shape remain of the temple. We didn't examine it in any depth, but we did appreciate the nicely lettered signs!
