Mud brick 5
The towering mud-brick walls of Dimai (Dimeh es-Seba) date back as early as the 3rd century BC foundation of ancient Soknopaiou Nesos, sited on a plateau north of Lake Qarun. The massive walls of the central temenos, dedicated to the crocodile-headed goddess Soknopaios (another name for Sobek in the Hellenistic Faiyum), are constructed in segments with curved courses for stabilizing the unfired bricks.
