After Alexander the Great invaded Egypt to expel the Persians and reach the Egyptian border in Sinai 332 BC, his conquest of the country advanced to the bull of Apis who is considered the god of Egyptian mythology in the form of a cow and crowned the king of Egypt in Memphis. Where he took the position of the Egyptian throne.
And on one of the expeditions to the Western Desert, his temple was built in this region, where the Greek Romans, and especially Alexander the Great, wanted to be buried inside the protected area of the temple, so they built their temples for this purpose, and also to ensure their control over Egypt.
The temple was built of sandstone and clay bricks, which consisted of forty-five rooms. Alexander created this temple to commemorate his passage while on his way to Siwa. One of the temple walls contains a magnificent sight that Alexander offers great gifts to the god Amon.
The temple was discovered by Egyptian archaeologists, but unfortunately, it was exposed to many natural factors that led to the destruction of most of the inscriptions and sculptures. However, at the present time attempts were made to restore it and cracks were filled between the stone blocks
