I have yet to dive in, but the contents page suggests that i will find what i am looking for in here. I will create an update post once Ive had a chance to take in the information. It seems that  Kumma Temple is classed as "Semna East" and in either in part or whole dedicated to the worship of the god, Knum.

The text from the author of this photo gives about as much information as i have of this temple.

It appears that the temple may be dedicated to the god Knum, but i will add further information on this temple as i receive it.

The Temples of Kumma and Semna

I keep stumbling across different mentions of two temples, which have links to Hatshepsut- Kumma and Semna. These Nubian temples, like the Temple of Horus at Buhen were rescued from destruction when the Aswan High Dam was created. I believe both of the remains are at the National Museum of Sudan, Khartoum, although i would like to request information on these temples to those of you who can provide it. I believe one may have been erected by Thutmose II and Hatshepsut and the other Thutmose III and Hatshepsut.

Further information will follow. There are available photos on Flickr but i would like more information before posting further. Can you help?

Regards,
Stuart
