Bakhariyaayn al-Muftillakh oasis and Alexanders temple
The old city is no time stretched for 3 km to Ayn al-Muftillakh, a source which during the current time has practically got lost on desert suburbs. There it is simple to reach on are great, but it is better to reach on the car as on the road there are no indexes and it is difficult to explain it. Find the district fenced with a being pricked wire with 4 destroyed chapels which have been dug out by Steyndorf and Fakhri. Constructed at the time of the XXVI dynasty, they do not correspond to canons of temple architecture and are executed from the local sandstone covered with okhry and a sienna that appropriates them unusually bright look but which is simply showered. One of temples has been devoted to the Demon, the boss of musicians and dancers, but everything that remained from its image - foot and a tail (though in Baviti's museum there is a fine sculpture). Having risen up and having passed a dune, you can take pleasure in Al-Kasr, Baviti's panoramic view and sources and the mountains depicted below.
Further around Tibny in Ahmed Safari Camp camp ask Alexander's way to truth, in 400 m on the sand road. It has been constructed at the same time, as chapels, its reliefs have suffered from long-term influence of sand transferred by a wind, and from the face and Alexander Velichavogo's cartouche, which archeologists depicted in the 1930th, remained nothing. But all of you still can distinguish Amon accepting gifts from the Pharaoh. It is the unique temple in Egypt where Alexander's figure and his cartouche are represented (and can be, it and was the only thing). It is considered that the temple has been founded by Alexander when it passed through an oasis on the road from Siva to Memphis.
