File Medinet Madi 05.JPG thumb 150px The ruins of Medinet Maadi temple File Medinet Madi 16.JPG thumb 150px Amenemhat III s cartouche at Medinet Maadi temple Medinet Maadi is a site in the southwestern Faiyum region of Egypt where a Egyptian temple temple of the cobra goddess Renenutet a harvest deity was founded during the reigns of Amenemhat III and Amenemhat IV 1855 1799 BC . It was later expanded and embellished during the Greco Roman period. The dark sandstone inner part of the temple consists of a small papyrus columned hall leading to a sanctuary comprising three chapels, each containing statues of deities. The central chapel incorporated a large statue of Renenutet, with Amenemhat III and Amenemhat IV standing on either side of her. The Ptolemaic parts of the temple comprise a paved processional way passing through an eight columned kiosk leading to a portico and transverse vestibule. It has been suggested that the unusually good preservation of this temple complex, excavated by a team of archaeologists from the University of Milan in the 1930s, may have been due simply to its relative seclusion.
