Research Abstract |
It has been confirmed that Amun adoration as an influence of the ancient Egyptian culture reached as far as the Sahara region beyond Egyptian western desert. Specific examples are Nadoura temple in Kharga Oasis, Ain Amur temple in Dakhla Oasis, Amun temple in Siwa Oasis, and scattered other temples and wall paintings or rock arts in the Sahara desert. It believes that this research will serve as a basis of comprehensive ancient Egyptian studies that covers not just Egypt but North Africa on the whole.
