Medinet Habu : Pharaonic
Medinet Habu is
the name commonly given to the Mortuary
Temple of Ramesses III, an
important New Kingdom structure in the location of the same name on the West
Bank of Luxor. Aside from its intrinsic size and architectural and artistic
importance, the temple is probably best known as the source of inscribed
reliefs depicting the advent and defeat of the Sea Peoples during the reign of
Ramesses III.
