[6] The edifice was dedicated primarily to "Antaeus", who represented a warrior fusion of Seth and Horus.

This deity's name is written with an obscure hieroglyph (G7a or G7b in the standard Gardiner list), which gives no clue as to the pronunciation.

Nephthys was the primary goddess who received worship in this temple, or perhaps in an adjunct shrine of her own, as the corresponding female power of Nemtiwey.

[7] In cliffside quarries not far from the ancient site, visitors can see notable reliefs of both Antaeus and Nephthys.

[8] At the same time, the site has again drawn most of its interest since 19th- and early 20th-century archaeologists have studied the maze of relatively well-preserved tombs in the district.
