Dakka Temple

The temple of Dakka is dedicated to Thoth, the God of Divine Wisdom, time, lord of time and science and master of literature.

The original site of this temple, many Kilometers north, is now submerged on the bed of Nasser Lake.

The temple dates back to Meiotic & Ptolemaic periods. The temple was first documented in 1905-7 by the first Egyptian Expedition of the Oriental Institute, led by James Henry Breasted. This temple was relocated by UNESCO.
