Its gates show its distinctiveness, the Nile water flowing by it day and night, the crocodiles in the Eagle River in the sky, morphing into the image of God, fearing for peace.

After leaving the Valley of the Emperors, we came to the Temple of Esna. The Temple of Esna was a temple dedicated to the god of Kunum, the god of flood. The Temple of Esna was built in 1500 BC, during the 18th dynasty, and was completely rebuilt during the Ptolemy dynasty. The temple is very broken, the face of the sculpture is extensively damaged, and the murals on the exterior wall are also lost in the wind and sun for more than 3,000 years, and all colors are lost. But the murals in the inner temple can still be vaguely seen in the solemn sacredness of the year. What remains is the column hall, where the most worth visiting is the reliefs and inscriptions on the walls, which document the origins of the world and human life, and the activities of the Ptolemy dynasty. There are also many murals, sculptures of the Qunum god story, and many pictures of him and his wife and son forming the Elefantine Trinity. Because the sun was baked at that time in a state of half heatstroke, I did not ask the guide about every story, only took these pictures. In fact, even the name of the temple was later recognized by the photo.

The murals of this temple are simply too beautiful! Be sure to listen to the story of the tour guide, recommend recommended!

It is a temple dedicated to the god of Kunum. Since the ancient Nile flood caused the ground to be high, the temple is buried underground and needs to walk down the stairs when visiting. There should also be reliefs, inscriptions, murals on the walls of the temple.
