Yes, but the original report said that it was from the Montu temple about 5km northwest of Karnak ie Medamud, but on the east bank! Someone didn't know their compass points, methinks!

I see more sacred geometry at work.
They were clever buggers those Ancients. Carving Granite like that..
They must have had a factory knocking these things out by the dozen.

The original report even included pictures of Medamud, not Armant.
