Medinet Madi

The remains to be seen here are those of the Graeco-Roman settlement of Narmouthis, with a temple founded by Amenemhet III and completed by his son Amenemhet IV in honor of the crocodile god Sobek, his consort the snake goddess Renenutet (Thermouthis) and Horus. The temple, oriented from north to south, was extended under the Ptolemies by the addition of large halls and courts, and some smaller extensions were added in the Roman Imperial period.
