Légende

Erment, nearly opposite Luxor; distant view of the Arabian Mountain Range, between Esneh and Edfou, 1883. 'A short distance up the Nile above Luxor and Karnak, and the ruins of ancient Thebes...is Erment, the Greek Hermonthis, with the ruins of a temple founded by Cleopatra, and those also of a Christian church, amidst the mud huts of the village, which has a plain mosque, with minarets, for its Moslem worship. The walls of the Ptolemaic temple are decorated with sculptures representing the Queen and her son offering sacrifices to the divine Bull'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
