Hi Bianca! 

I think I know what you feel about the Osireon, it is unlike any other temple in Egypt.  Look at the pictures, it is is lower in the ground and made of a different style of blocks than other temples.  Do you want to know why I think that is?  It was made in Pre-dynastic Egypt, it is not part of the standard culture!

I first became aware of it in that documentary "Mysteries of the Sphinx," where West and Schoch brought it to my attention.  If you haven't seen it, take a look!  You can't get the whole gist of it till you see it in the documentary.
