Kumma Temple during reigns of Queen Hatchepsut and the Pharaohs of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom

Detailed work is still visible on the walls that have been moved to the museum for protection from the elements.

Main building to the temple complex was in the lane on the Western side, consisting of a doorway with the Stone jambs for support.

Local guard that after some persuasion became more friendly and actually smiled and followed us.

Buhen Temple

Temple was built by Queen Hatsheosut in 1500 BC

Interesting how the late Tutmossis III cut out the Queens name and replaced it with his name
