A low flight of steps leads into the pronaos, defined by a pair of columns, pillars, and curtain walls. |
The pronaos is flanked of eight pillars osiriaques of ten meters to the features of Ramesses. |
The temple proper, measuring 2815 m., consists of a square cella and a hexastyle pronaos formed of Corinthian columns on a high podium. |
The elevation of the temple was restituted up to the roof level for a height of 4m in the sanctuary and of ca. 5.60m in the pronaos. |
Terminations similar to pilasters upon the ends of the lateral walls of the cella, in pronaos and epinaos. |
It is when we arrive at the pronaos that we fail to recognize the disposition to which we have grown accustomed. |
