Precinct of Mut
The Precinct of Mut, located near Luxor, Egypt, is one of the four main temple enclosures that make up the immense Karnak Temple Complex and occupies some 150,000 m². It is dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Mut, the mother goddess. The area in which the precinct is located was originally known as ''Isheru'' (or ''Asher'').〔Weigall, A.E.P. A Guide To The Antiquities of Upper Egypt, Methuen, London, 1910〕 Isheru was the name of the spring-fed, crescent-shaped lake on the site of this portion of the temple complex. The area reopened to the public in January 2014.
==Brief history==
It has been used, added to, or enhanced from the 18th Dynasty to the Graeco-Roman Period of rule in Egypt. By the 1st century CE its use steadily declined and when worship of Mut ended, so did the function of the complex. The passage of time has not been kind to the precinct. Today, the site is so levelled that practically nothing over one metre high is still standing. Hundreds of statues are scattered all over the central part of the site.
