The temple of Dakka, dedicated to Djehoty of the southern sycamore Fig, was originally located about 100 kilometers south of the Aswan high dam in what we refer to today as Nubia, though much of that ancient land is covered by lake Nasser now. El-Dakka known to the Egyptians as P-srket and to Greeks as Pslchis. Because of the impending flooding of the region because of the high dam, it moved to the site of El-Seboua, about 40 Kilometers upstream, between 1962 and 1968. The temple we see today was actually begun by the Merotic, Nubian king Arkmani, whom the Greeks called Ergamenes, in about 220 BC, thought this date is somewhat disputed, with some scholars maintaining that it dates as earlier as Ptolemy II (Philadelphus 282-246). However, it is more likely that, while Arkmani may have been alive early in the reign of Ptolemy II (Philadelphus), it is more likely that the temple dates to the reign of Ptolemy IV (Philopator 222-205). Irregardless, together with his son named irk-imn (probably Argamani, Greek Ergamenes II), its construction appears to have become a combined effort between these Nubian kings and the line of Greek pharaohs in Egypt, and the god Aensnuphis had been represented in the temple of Dakka with the main gods.
