Arks,
Golden Poles
&
Cherubim
Images
on Egyptian Temples and Shrines -- "Especially" at Medinet Habu,
Ramesses
III Mortuary Temple
The east Wall has pictures of "Arks" some carried by priests
on Golden Poles ( see Biblical account).
Egyptian version of the Ark Of the Covenant carried on Golden
Poles, with Winged Creatures Above, can seen on the
walls of the Temple at Medinet Habu. They are not only on its walls but on its
pillars. Eight of which can also be seen just around the corner from these
photos. See the sketch/plan
for where the pillars are located. It is as though this Temple is dedicated to
these images.

But Medinet Habu is not the only place that has
these images. They can be found at several places in Egypt,
one of which is these Cherubim (winged creatures) on Tutankhamun's
Shrine.
