Located in the ancient port city of Pelusium, southeast of modern-day Port Said, the round temple centres on a huge water basin about 35 metres (115 ft) across. Researchers discovered that this structure is actually connected to the Nile by a system of water channels and reservoirs. This suggests the temple may have been used to worship the Egyptian river deity Pelusius in elaborate ceremonies.
