Koptos: temple of Min in the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC)
Like the Middle Kingdom temple, the temple of the New Kingdom was already very much destroyed in antiquity. However, foundation blocks apparently found in situ give a general idea about the size of the temple building (see the published plan). A series of foundation deposits contained objects with the name of Thutmose III, making it highly likely that he built the main New Kingdom temple.
