Temple of Khnum , a ram-headed god of creation, and his wife Neith , were honored to preside over a temple that is now in ruins 30 feet below the level of the street.
For 1,500 years , the pronaos existed merely as a shelter from weather while the temple behind it was dismantled to build canals.
Over 200 years passed before the columns, walls, and ceilings were finished being decorated.
The scenes occasionally depict some of the Roman emperors who came and went during this long exercise in inter-generational artistry.
It has taken six years for the team led by Leitz and El-Leithy to clean the entrance hall of Khnum ’s extraordinary entrance hall.
Only 6 pillars and two interior walls remain unclean, a job to which Leitz ascribes about 18 months of necessary work.
