Qasr el Sagha
TempleEgypt
Predynastic / Old Kingdom cyclopean temple on the northern edge of the Fayoum depression in middle Egypt. Built of massive polygonal limestone blocks with no mortar, fitting in the same interlocking style as Sacsayhuamán in Peru. Conventionally dated to the Middle Kingdom (c. 1850 BCE) but undecorated, unfinished, and structurally unlike any contemporary Egyptian temple — leading Megalithomania and other independent researchers to argue for a much earlier predynastic foundation. Critical reference point for the Osireion / pre-dynastic cyclopean Egypt thesis covered in Library Entry 03.
Look Closer — this site carries open questions: polygonal, interlocking masonry; stones fitted without mortar, almost no gap; stones heavier than the period's tools could lift.
