Ancient Temple in Nubia
Temple B700 at Gebel Barkal was constructed about 650-640 BCE by two Kushite kings about whom little is known: Atlanersa, who died when the temple was only partly finished, and Senkamanisken, who completed the work. These kings were the two immediate successors of the last Kushite pharaohs of Egypt, and thus the temple is clearly Egyptian in its architectural and decorative styles. B700 is quite small, only about 20 X 33m, comprising a porch, pylon, two main inner rooms, and a small space added to the rear possibly in the first century BCE.
