SIWA OASIS :
Temple of Amon
If the oracle has been badly treated by time, the Temple of Amon is in
an even worse condition. Just a piece of a wall still stands, held up by
crude modern bricks. Fortunately some fine wall-paintings on the western
side of the wall have survived.
It is believe to have been built by the command of King Nectanebo 2 in
the 4th century BCE. It would have been standing if it hadn't been for
an Ottoman general who blew it up in 1896 to get building material.
