The Temple of Esna is located in the town of Esna, south of Luxor. It is a temple dedicated to the god Khnum, so it is also called the Temple of Khnum. The Temple of Esna was built in 1500 BC, during the Eighteenth Dynasty, and then completely rebuilt during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Since the flooding of the ancient Nile made the ground higher, the temples have been buried underground, and you have to go down the stairs when visiting. What remains now is the column hall, which was once used as a barn and cotton warehouse. What is worth visiting here are the reliefs and inscriptions on the wall, which record the origin of the world and human life, as well as the activities of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. . There are also many frescoes, sculptures, and many paintings depicting the story of the Elefantine Trinity with his wife and son.
