As we see it to-day, the great temple, 853 feet in length, and 181 feet
across at its greatest breadth, belongs almost entirely to the later days of
the 18th dynasty and the earlier half of the 19th
dynasty, the chief work visible being that of Amenophis ( Amenhotep ) III of
the earlier, and that of Ramses II of the later, dynasty .

We now leave the enclosure of Montu by the
south-eastern gate, built by Nectanebis II, and re-enter the great enclosure of
Amen-Rê and proceed eastwards, passing a sgrine of the Ethiopian Pharaoh
Shabaka, consisting of a twelve-columned hall, with tables for offering ranged
round its brick walls .
