When Taharqa became the city's steward and elected to replace Sekhmet with Horus, a group of wab priests believed his actions was an act of sacrilege and thus made an invocation in a temple for Sekhmet at the cost of their own lives. As a result by 48 BCE, many parts of the city was covered by the desert including the Temple of Sekhmet, causing Taharqa to built a new temple in worship of Horus instead.[2]
