The Ramesside Pharaohs were particularly devoted to Set's prerogatives and, in the 19th Dynasty, a temple of Nephthys named the "House of Nephthys of Ramses-Meriamun" was built or refurbished in the town of Sepermeru, center between Oxyrhynchos and Herakleopolis, on the outskirts of the Faiyum and quite near to the modern situation of Deshasheh. Here, as Papyrus Wilbour bills in its wealth of revenue enhancement records and land appraisals, the temple of Nephthys was a special cornerstone by Ramses II, set in close proximity to (or within) the precinct of the envelopment of Set. To be particular, the House of Nephthys was one of fifty individual, land-owning temples drawn for this portion of the Middle Egyptian district in Papyrus Wilbour. The fields and other holdings belonging Nephthys's temple were under the office of two Nephthys-prophets (named Penpmer) and one (named) wa'ab priest of the goddess.
While certainly affiliated with the House of God Set, the Nephthys temple at Sepermeru and its spread lands (different lands) clearly were under organization distinct from the Set innovation. The Nephthys temple was a special establishment in its hold right, an sovereign entity. According to Papyrus Wilbour, another "House of Goddess Nephthys of Ramses-Meriamun" seems to have existed to the northwest, in the town of Su, shorter to the Faiyum region.
Otherwise temple of Nephthys seems to have was in the town of Punodjem. The Papyrus Bologna tapes a complaint charged by a seer of the temple of Set in that town seeing undue taxation in his regard. After making an first appeal to "Re-Horakhte, Set, and Goddess Nephthys" for the last resolution of this issue by the royal Vizier, the prophet lamentations his workload. He notes his obvious government of the "House of God Set" and adds: "I am also responsible for the ship, and I am motor similarly for the House of Nephthys, along with a pile of other temples."
Equally "Nephthys of Ramses-Meriamun," the goddess and her shrines were under the certain second of Ramses II. The innovations of the Set and Nephthys temples at Sepermeru at long last were discovered and named in the 1980, and the Nephthys temple was a individual temple complex inside the Set enclosure.
