Photo for Today - More from the Ptolemaic Temple at Deir el Medina

Anubis, Northern Chapel

I've never been much interested in Ptolemaic temples,
but this really is a charming place in very good condition.
I visited it with my father for the first time this Christmas.
If you visit Deir el-Medina don't just stop at the tombs
and the village - go and see the temple too. You won't regret it.
