Migdol
Gateway
And
Medinet Habu from Air
|
The "Migdol" Gateway of the Mortuary
Temple of Ramesses III (Shishak) at Medinet Habu. The style of
the gateway is NOT Egyptian but rather a copy of the Gateway of
Solomon's Temple. This together with "A Holy of
Holies", "Treasury Rooms" and depictions of Cherubim on
the 8 pillars in the Second Court and a profusion of "Arks"
shows that Ramesses III built this Temple in honor of the place where
he had obtained all his wealth.....Solomon's Temple.
