Temple of Hércules
The Hércules temple was discovered in October, 1996 by Faraq Allah Abdeen. It was constructed probably about 21 B.C., during the reign of Octavio Augusto, in Bahariya.
One believes that the maximum deity adored in this temple was Hércules, although the objects found inside the temple indicate that here there were adored several gods, between whom there are Thot, Hathor, Pantheos, Apollo, Hermes, Horus, Osiris, Khonsu, Afrodita or Ra.
Today, the Hércules temple is almost completely ruined, although enough tests still stay to examine what was in ancient times.
