Very interesting! Is this place older than some of the other ruins we have seen here lately? It looks like either a lot of erosion or more primitive carvings starting out.

Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BCE) in the Middle Kingdom (around 2000–1700 BCE) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BCE), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom.

Thank you for posting lovely photographs of an area I will most likely never get to see in person. Well done.

How nice of the builders to include a copy of the Washington Monument for future generations to enjoy.
