"These reliefs come from one in a series of forts along the Nile at the point of the Second Cataract, or rapids, just south of the present-day border between Egypt and Sudan. They show Thutmose III making offerings to the ram-headed god Khnum, lord of the cataracts. Originally built during the Middle Kingdom, the forts were restored and reoccupied in the early New Kingdom. In addition to fortifications, the forts also contained small temples for the worship of local deities. These temple blocks were found dismantled and reused in the foundation of a new temple."
