The Oracle of Amun was a significant religious site located in the ancient city of Siwa Oasis in Egypt. It was dedicated to the god Amun, who was considered a powerful deity in ancient Egyptian religion. Pilgrims traveled from far and wide to seek guidance and prophecies from the oracle, often consulting it on matters of state, personal affairs, and military decisions. The oracle's most famous consultation was with Alexander the Great, who visited in 332 BCE. He sought confirmation of his divine status and was reportedly proclaimed the son of Amun. This event solidified the oracle's importance and influence in the ancient world, as it connected political power with divine approval.
