History
In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited the temple. Eventually, Bayek assassinated Sehetep, a corrupt priest who worked with soldiers serving under Berenike, the nomarch of Faiyum, to increase offerings to the temple.[1]
Around the same time, Bayek also found one of the Papyrus Puzzles within the temple.[2]
