 Moreover, many statues found at the site, later restored by the New Kingdom pharaohs, are attributed to pharaohs of the 12th dynasty.Examples include the two stone giants that have been recovered amidst the temple ruins, which were later restored under the name of Rameses II.Finally, according to the tradition recorded by Herodotus and Diodorus, Amenemhet III built the northern gate of the Temple of Ptah.
