The Impact of 3D VR Reconstructions: Koptos - the predynastic temple

Question - different options: was the early temple at Koptos closed or open in conception?

A selection of JPEG still images of the Min temple, Koptos in the Early Dynastic based on Kemp (2000)

Background information on the predynastic temple of Koptos

Comments on the model: The two versions present a completely different impression, with one holding a wide and open courtyard whilst the other having the temple enclosed within the town.

Evidence: One reconstruction follows the proposal of Barry Kemp, while the other is based on parallels from Egypt.


Does the early Koptos question emerge from the pages?

Does the reconstruction help you learn about the site, or impose itself as reality?
