Recent explorations of the site indicate that the temple played a significantly more integrated and extensive role in the economy and administration of the time than Egyptologists had previously recognized.
Beyond its function as a place of worship where rituals honored Ramses II, the temple also served as a vibrant hub for civic officials who conducted business that directly benefited the local community.
