Summary edit
DescriptionHibis, Temple Decorations (I).jpg |
English: The Temple of Hibis (Egyptian: Hebet meaning the plough), Persian - c. 500s BCE, is the largest and most well preserved temple in the Kharga Oasis. Excavations were started out early during the 20th century. It is also the finest temple from the Persian period. Hibis is the finest example of a Persian Period temple in Egypt. Its reliefs are very well preserved, owing to its burial in sand for many centuries. The temple contains a rich religious iconography and a wealth of theological texts in a very unusual style, perhaps the influence of a local style of art which until recent years has barely been studied. One large and unique wall-relief depicts a winged figure of Seth, god of the desert oases, with the head of a falcon. He is painted blue, a colour usually reserved for air deities and is fighting the serpent Apophis. Many deities are represented in the sanctuary and Min, another desert god, was also venerated here.
