The extremely well made granite pillars and ortholiths are unusually reactangular for such an ancient site. The polygonal limestone blocks on the outside wall are much more irregular but fit together extremely preciselly, like those in Machu Pichu. The site originaly had a roof, probably in some sort of Mastaba shape. Pharao Seti I is said to have restored the site to some extent and it is connected to his temple with underground pasages. 80 Meter Altitude.
Note: Canadian archeologists unearth rare wooden statue of pharaoh
