This temple was established during the reign of Ptolemy VI Philomator, but its decoration was only completed in the Roman era during the time of Emperor Tiberius, and we see in this temple also the same features that we find in other Ptolemaic Egyptian temples in terms of design, architecture and decoration. However, this temple has a special feature that resulted in local worship in the place, where people worshiped two local deities, namely Sobek and Horus with the head of a falcon, and despite the difference between these two deities in origin and character, they lived side by side for long centuries without mixing or pairing us Together
