Abstract

This article discusses the discovery and analysis of several inscribed stone blocks found in Heliopolis, shedding light on the architectural elements and religious significance of the ancient city. The blocks, made of limestone and containing hieroglyphic inscriptions, date back to different periods and provide insights into the worship of gods such as Amun, Ptah, Ra, and Osiris. The study suggests that these blocks were part of religious structures built by King Amenhotep III. The presence of these blocks highlights the importance of these deities in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. [Extracted from the article]
