Since publishing the work of Ahmed Fakhry on the Bahariya Oasis long time ago, no work has been done in the site of Apries’ Temple at el-Qasr, till the excavations conducted by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities at the Fall of 2015. The work revealed part of the Temple to the east of the formerly known chapel. A stela of Amenophis II, reused as a lintel, has been discovered there. It carries a scene of smiting the enemies together with a rhetorical text mentioning the coming of asiatic princes from Naharin to the presence of the king in order to show his mighty powers. |
