God Montu (the Egyptian god of war) was identified with Horus, Amoun, and Ra. He had his seat in Iuny (Armant). The construction works of the Temple of Montu (also known as Ment, Mentho, Month, Montju, and Munto) began during the XI Dynasty, and later, considerable annexes were added during the XII Dynasty and during the New Kingdom.
