Bathed in early morning sunlight with a full moon still evident in the sky, the ruins of the Lion Temple, dedicated to the Lion God Apademak, is one of the four temples situated beside an important wadi at Naga some 30 km from the Nile. The engraving depicts the King and Queen killing prisoners with a lion beneath the king eating the victims.Discovered in 1821, the temples have been dated between 1BC and 1AD. They are fine examples of Afro-Egyptian architecture and are attributed to the Meroitic culture that flourished at that time.
