Khirbet et-Tannur
Khirbet et-Tannur is an ancient Nabataean temple situated on top of Mount Tannur, in today's Jordan. Whom the temple was dedicated to is not yet certain; based on the iconography of the deities depicted, it was either the fertility goddess Atargatis and Zeus-Hadad, or perhaps other Nabataean gods with similar attributes.Photo: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 2.0.
