Shrine of the Egyptian goddess Hathor at Timna Valley, southern Israel. It is an open-air shrine dated to the thirteenth-twelfth centuries BCE, built by the Egyptians but with many local elements. According to some, after the Egyptian withdrawal the shrine was taken over by the Midianites, who began using it for their own cult.
