Kalabsha - Temple of Kalabsha - Three Rooms

Beyond the vestibule are three rooms, one behind the other, which contain reliefs depicting the Emperor in the presence of the gods of Talmis and other deities, with well preserved colors. In the first room, at the foot of the walls, are local deities with their offerings. Many of the inscriptions are merely sketched in in red. Smaller chambers are built into the left hand (south) wall of the first and second rooms, and the south wall of the first room also has a staircase leading up to the roof of the third room, from which short flights of steps mount to the higher roofs of the front part of the temple. Another staircase leads from the roof of the second room to the outer wall; and from this a few steps on the left lead down to a chapel in the thickness of the wall, which has two chambers (the second one with a crypt) an was probably dedicated to the cult of Osiris.
