Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BC) in the Middle Kingdom, and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BC), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes, and in 1979 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the rest of the city(wikipedia)
