Barque Chapel of Hakor
The Barque Chapel of Hakor belongs to the
4th century BCE, a period of Egyptian history from
which we have few monuments. It is located right
outside the main entrance to the Temple of Amon,
and appear quite lonely.
It offers nothing new in style compared to temples
centuries older, but proves that at this time the
knowledge of building techniques was still very
much alive.
The chapel was used as a resting station for the
god's processional journey to and from the Nile. |
