The temple is from the Lower Nubian region, the Roman period, about 15 BC, wind-formed sandstone, from the gate to the temple 25 meters long. It was presented to the United States by Egypt in 1965, awarded to the Metropolitan Museum in 1967, and housed in this Sackler Pavilion in 1978. The Egyptian government gave the temple to the United States to reward the United States for its assistance in protecting the historical relics of Nubian. If it is not demolished, it should have been submerged in the Nile River after the Aswan High Dam. Although the size of the temple is small compared to the grand temples of Egypt, it has all the basic components of a temple, a gate, a porch, a sacrificial chamber and a shrine. The porch columns had plant pillars, and reliefs on the walls depicted Pharaoh's offerings to the gods.
