Fig.

building, are restored; but the front, with the stories
over the gateway, is as it now appears ; and its present
condition may be seen in fig. 2. At six of the window
sills are heads, which call to mind some of the figures in
our old churches. They are of captive chiefs : and are
the same two races, represented in the sculptures of the
temple to have been defeated by Remeses III, the founder
of the building. (Vide p. 64, and Plate m, figs. 2, 3.)
The scale is for the centre part, over the gateway; the
rest is increased in size, from the perspective.

3. Is the plan of the upper story of the pavilion. Some of the

outer chambers are gone, but traces of them may be seen
at the side. This pavilion stood at the outer end of the
dromos, before the temple.

4. The sculptures on the walls of the chambers, in the centre

part, above the gateway, drawn to an increased scale.
The roofs were flat, and of stone.
For plans of all the temples in the ancient capital of Egypt,
I must refer to my large survey of Thebes.
