Speos Artemidos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Speos Artemidos or "Grotto of Artemis" (Modern: "Istabl 'Antar"), in Egypt, is located about 2 km south of the Middle Kingdom tombs at Beni Hasan, and about 28 km south of Al Minya.

There are two temples here, both of which are dedicated to Pakhet. They are cut out of the rock into the cliffs on the eastern side of the Nile.

An earlier temple was probably located here, but no traces older than that of Hatshepsut have been found. The decorations inside have been usurped by Seti I in places, his name replacing that of Hatshepsut.
