Abstract

The Middle Kingdom building complex at Tell Basta, which was first excavated by Shafik Farid in 1961, was originally interpreted as a temple, but later understood as a palace. In this artice, it will be suggested that it might have been a "royal cult complex". This interpretation is supported by several finds from the building, which have not been fully published yet. New photographs of these will be provided.
