The first gateway crosses an enclosed cartouche of
Ptolemy VI. On the interior façade of the first gateway are passages of
Ptolemy XI and
Ptolemy XIII. The jambs next to the first gateway depict
Nefertem bearing a
blue lotus flower. The second and fourth gateways contain cartouches in the name of
Shabaka. The third gateway cartouche is in the name of
Ptolemy XIII. The fifth gateway leading to the portico columns of
Ptolemy III contains the title of
Thutmose III and on the gate contains the name of
Ptolemy III. The sixth gateway is the entrance to the sanctuary. This is where the doorpost of the pylon extends beyond the doors. There is a scene of the king wearing the white crown. On the north side the king wears the red crown. On the south wall of the main central chamber scenes in sunk relief can be seen. On the right is a scene of the scepter of
Amun with four vertical lines and more inscriptions. Inside the sanctuary stand two statues. The sanctuary is the most sacred place in the temple, which is why statues of Ptah and another of Sekhmet stand here. Sekhmet's statue in the chapel is dedicated to the goddess
Hathor. Behind the statue of Ptah,
Khonsu holds scepters in his hands: the
djed pillar,
was scepter,
ankh,
heka scepter, and
nekhakha scepter. There are numerous painting of scenes of the king, showing offering with the sign of
Ma'at to the god Amun Re. "The back, outside wall of the temple is also noteworthy. Here, at two different levels going from left to right, are a representation of Ptah in light relief, whose head must have been sculpted on a stone that is now missing, and also one of Hathor, followed by two deified scribes from the Old and New Kingdom. ==Renovations and research==
