Gebelein - Tomb of Sheikh Musa

On top of the smaller eastern hill are the conspicuous Tomb of Sheikh Musa and remains of a Temple of Hathor, surrounded by a defensive wall. The temple, probably founded in the time of the Third Dynasty, was restored in the 11th Dynasty, enlarged in the reign of Tuthmosis, later destroyed and then rebuilt in the Ptolemaic period. A number of Greek and demotic papyri were found within the temple precinct.
