dc.descriptionView of the interior; The oldest building [the Old Birth House] in the main temple complex, and the oldest such structure still standing, is the mammisi (birth house) of Nectanebo I (reigned 380-362 BCE). Redecorated early in the Ptolemaic period (304-30 BCE), it was replaced by a larger birth house decorated in the early 2nd century CE under Trajan and Hadrian. [This building].
