Its history is linked with the emergence of what is now Egypt's Nubian kingdom, which was in the delta of the Nile River in the town of Debod, which is not found on the modern map of Egypt. He was not far from the temple of Abu Simbel, familiar to tourists on excursions. The date of his erection goes away in the millennium. His age is about 2,200 years old, in the Greco-Roman period in Egypt. It was built by order of King Ptolemy IV and personified the cult of the god Amun.
