These are the remains of the peristyle court between the first and second pylons. This outer court was the last to be built (by Piye) - it was larger than the other courts, fronted by an even bigger pylon.

The medieval name Qalʻat ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Muslim castle situated in northwestern Jordan. It is placed on a hilltop belonging to the Mount Ajloun district, also known as Jabal 'Auf after a Bedouin tribe which had captured the area in the 12th century. From its high ground the castle was guarding three wadis which descend towards the Jordan Valley. It was built by the Ayyubids in the 12th century and enlarged by the Mamluks in the 13th. Ajlun Castle is located on the site of an old monastery, traces of which were discovered during archaeological excavations. Tradition has it that the name 'Ajlun' goes back to a Byzantine-period monk who lived in the area.
Restoration work and new discoveries are still ongoing at the site.

I traveled to India for the first time to present a keynote at the 3rd Global Conference on Emerging Trends for Business Librarianship, November 21-22, 2017 at the Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad, India. We did some sightseeing on our last day in India and visited the amazing Rani ki vav stepwell near Patan, north of Ahmedabad. I am so very glad that I made it here. From the Wikipedia page, "Rani ki vav, or Ran-ki vav (Queen’s step well) was constructed during the rule of the Chaulukya dynasty. It is generally assumed that it was built in the memory of Bhima I (r. c. 1022–1064) by his widowed queen Udayamati and probably completed by Udayamati and Karna after his death. A reference to Udayamati building the monument is in Prabandha Chintamani, composed by the Jain monk Merunga Suri in 1304 AD." The term vav is Gujarati for stepwell.

The burial chambers were dug deeply in the sandstone substratum and accessed by stairways. Kushite pyramids are solid monuments, lacking any internal chambers. They were erected over the burial chambers. The remains of the pyramid associated with this burial chamber are barely visible.

Thousands of graffiti, 'informal' pictorial and inscriptional incisions as well as markings, adorn the extensive sandstone walls of the Great Enclosure of Musawwarat. Many of these stem from the Meroitc period but also from the more recent post-Meroitic, Christian and Islamic periods.

At the entrance of the funerary chamber, Isis presents the red wrappings for the mummification of the king Tanwetamani - detail. She has on her wig and, drawn only in outline, the remains of a vulture, with its head on her forehead. It suggests her role of mother goddess. (Hand-held camera, by torchlight)
There is a niche in the back wall of the single-chamber temple which was obviously once a shrine. The buildings are constructed from the soft, locally-available sandstone which is white inside. After sufficiently long exposure to the air, the outer surface becomes hard and develops a light to dark brown patina, because of its iron oxide content.
