Fragment of a granite door built in the temple of Horus of Hierakonpolis

Fragment of a granite door built in the temple of Horus of Hierakonpolis by pharaoh Khasekhemwy and now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Everything suggests that after winning a crushing defeat on his enemies, the Horus Khasekhem changed its name to Khasekhemwy and dedicated a temple to the god Horus in the city of Nekhen (Hierakonpolis). The Palermo Stone (written in the mid-V th Dynasty) informs us that the king Khasekhemwy undertook the construction of a stone temple during his rule. The simple fact that this remarkable document stipulates that it was a stone building is already clear evidence that such stone buildings must have been quite rare in this early period. The large fragment of this door, from Hierakonpolis, may thus have belonged to that same sanctuary mentioned in the Annals of the Palermo Stone. Given that the king is called Khasekhemwy here, it appears that the building itself was constructed after the pacification and reunification of Egypt. Most of the door bore sculpted reliefs which are now lost and most of the accompanying inscriptions are illegible. Yet we distinguish on the left side the figure of king holding a scepter and a rod. Over his head is written his Horus name. Bibliography: Quibell, J. E. P.6 Hierakonpolis I, pl. II

El templo de Musawwarat es-Sofra

El templo de Musawwarat es-Sofra es un templo muy pequeño, ya que solamente mide 15 m. Su estructura es rectangular y sus muros interiores y exteriores presentan una serie de relieves. Detrás del pilono solamente hay una sala cuyo techo se sostiene por 6 columnas (con registros decorados).

Este templo estaba consagrado al dios león. Apedemak era el dios león meroítico, dios de la guerra y de la fertilidad. También hay inscripciones en el templo para otro dios; Sbomeker, el dios de la creación.

En Musawwarat es-Sofra también había otra construcción, se trata del Gran Recinto que tenia multitud de pasadizos y diferentes piezas, ahora en ruinas. No se observan decoraciones en los restos. En los alrededores también hay un gran estanque

En los años 60 un grupo de arqueólogos de la Alemania del Este realizó una anastilosis en el templo.

Por la situación del templo Musawwarat es-Sofra , en Butana, detrás de Meroe, rodeado del desierto, e plantea la duda de si habría allí algún caravanas empleado para las peregrinaciones que se realizaban. En algunos relieves aparecen sobre todo el león y el elefante.

Este templo es también llamado el templo del león se nos presenta como un templo misterioso e interesante, por estar consagrado a Apedemak.

Las escenas de las representaciones meroíticas a veces son crueles, por ejemplo en el templo de Natakamani, también dedicado al león, se representas escenas del león devorando enemigos, etc.
