Tell Nebesha or ''Nebesheh'' (also known as 'Faraon' or 'Farun') is an ancient archaeological site in Egypt, and the location of the ancient city of ''Imet''. It is found about 10km south of Tanis in the Eastern Nile Delta. This was the ancient capital of the 19th Nome of Lower Egypt; by the Assyrian period it was replaced by Tanis. ==Archaeology== The site consists of three areas: the temple site, the town, and the cemetery.〔(Farun-Nebesheh site survey ) www.deltasurvey.ees.ac.uk〕 A temple at the site, dedicated to the goddess Wadjet, the cobra goddess of Lower Egypt, may have been constructed during the Ramesside Period. Yet the evidence of inscriptions discovered at the site "clearly indicates that occupation begun in the 18th Dynasty".〔Vincent Razanajao, (D'Imet à Tell Farâoun : recherches sur la géographie, les cultes et l'histoire d'une localité de Basse-Égypte orientale. ) (English synopsis)〕 Wadjet was worshipped in the area as the 'Lady of Imet'. Later she was joined by Min and Horus to form a triad of deities. This was based on an Osiriac model identified elsewhere in Egypt.〔 The enclosure contained two temples, a smaller one has been dated by foundation deposits naming King Ahmose II (Amasis) of 26th Dynasty; it seems to have been dedicated to god Min. The bigger temple was dedicated to Wadjet. Re-used monuments from the Middle Kingdom were also found. They may have been moved here from another location. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Nebesha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
