- ―Medjay Bayek of Siwa, 48 BCE.
The Sarapeion of Karanis was a Greco-Egyptian temple to Serapis located in Karanis, Faiyum, during the 1st century BCE.
History
Originally an Egyptian temple, it was built over and redecorated to suit the worship of Greco-Egyptian amalgamation god, Serapis, over several years up to 48 BCE, and the work continued, despite multiple setbacks.[1]
In 48 BCE the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited the temple. A gruesome murder scene caught his attention, and he helped the local Phylakitai, Epigonos, to solve a series of acts of vandalism and murders of Greek priests in the temple. As Bayek found out, a cult of Wadjet was the culprit. However, Bayek was able to prevent them from assassinating the head priest of the temple.[2]
