Behbeit el-Hagar

Behbeit el-Hagar is an archaeological site in the Nile Delta of Egypt, near Samannud, the ancient Sebennytos. It holds the ruins of a great temple of Isis begun by Nectanebo II of the Thirtieth Dynasty and completed under the Ptolemies. Built almost entirely of granite, the temple later collapsed, probably in an earthquake, and its scattered carved blocks remain one of the main monuments of late pharaonic Egypt.
