Ich habe noch Wilkinson's "Complete Temples" konsultiert:
Deir el-Medina
The small hollow in the foothills to the northwest of Amenophis III's ternple was the area where the community of workmen who constructed the royal in the Valley of the Kings had their village. On the north side of this village several temples were built, the largest of which was begun by Amenophis III and almost completely rebuilt and expanded in later times - long after the village had been deserted by its population of tomb makers.
Temple of Amenophis I
The templeof the cult of Amenophis I stands on the terrace above the Ptolemaic temple enclosure (see below) at its northern corner. The original structure was a small one, and many of the walls surrounding are later accretions.
Hathor chapel of Sethos I
On the northern side of the Ptolrmaic temple is the site where Sethos I built a temple for the workmen
of the village. Considerably larger than the earlier structure of Amenophis I, it consists of a series of elements before a tripartite sanctuary.
Ptolemaic temple of Hathor
This compound embraces the site of several earlier temple structures, and the remaining Ptolemaic temple itself is fronted by a staircase of Ramesses II. The temple, which was built and decorated in the 3rd century bc by Ptolemy IV and several later Ptoletnies, is in almost perfect condition. A columned hall opens into a narrow vestibule before three sanctuaries, the central one dedicated to Hathor, the eastern onee (on the right) dedicated to Amun-Re-Osiris and the western one to Amun-Sokar-Osiris - the latter sanctuary, having an Osiride judgment scene more commonly found in tombs than in divine temples. Here, as in the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri, chapels were also dedicated to both Imhotep and Amenophis son of Hapu - the quintessential builders of Egyptian tradition. A stairway leads from the left side of the vestibule to the temple's roof. Te remains of several small votive chapels stand around the enclosure's north wall. The temple shows the cotinued sanctity of this sacred site long after its associated dwellings were deserted. Eventually the ocmplex was transformed into a Coptic monastry from which the site's present name Deir el-Medina - meaning "Monastery of Town" is derived.
Temple of Amun
Across the valley from the Ptolemaic temple enclosure are the remains of a temple to Amun and the other members of the Theban triad (Mut and Chonsu) which was built by Ramesses II.
Ein Grundriss ist auch drin
