XLV., Fig.
4.] above this the external work has disappeared.

Internally, two chambers may be traced, floored with a mixture of stones and chalk; and round one of these are some fragments of bas-reliefs, representing sacred subjects, cut on the same black basalt as that by which the platform is cased, and sufficient to show that the same style of ornamentation prevailed here as in the palace.
The principal doorway on the north-west side of the Temple Court communicated by a passage, with another and similar doorway (_d_ on the plan), which opened into a fourth court, the smallest and least ornamented of those on the upper platform.
The mass of building whereof this court occupied the centre, is believed to have constituted the _hareem_ or private apartments of the monarch.
It adjoined the state apartments at its northern angle, but had no direct communication with them.

To enter it from them the visitor had either to cross the Temple Court and proceed by the passage above indicated, or else to go round by the great entrance (X in the plan ) and obtain admission by the grand portals on the south-west side of the outer court.

These latter portals, it is to be observed, are so placed as to command no view into the _Hareem_ Court, though it is opposite to them.

The passages by which they gave entrance into that court must have formed some such angles as those marked by the dotted lines in the plan, the result being that visitors, while passing through the outer court, would be unable to catch any sight of what was going on in the _Hareem_ Court.
