Jebel Dosha is a sandstone promontory right beside theNile, on the western river bank betweenSoleb andSedeinga inNorthern State inSudan. It features arock-cut chapel ofThutmose III, similar to the contemporaryTemple of Ellesyia as well as severalstelae and rock inscriptions ofNew Kingdom date.[1]
The rock-cut chapel, which overlooks the Nile, contains partly lost inscriptions and wall-decoration of Thutmose III. In the back wall of the chapel there are three largely disfigured seated statues.
In the earlyRamesside period several stelae, mostly commissioned by theViceroy of KushAmenemopet, were added. One of the stelae showsSeti I making an offering to the godsKhnum,Satet andAnket; another, done insunk relief, shows a kneeling Amenemopet offering to a lunar god and to the goddess Satet.Several groups of striding figures are carved into the jebel rock.[2]
