The temple was apparently abandoned at the time Nepthu discovered it while wandering in the desert. No obvious entrances into the structure were apparent, although Nepthu's knowledge of the legends surrounding the temple allowed him to find a way inside. Using the Scarab of Power, Nepthu hoped to amass the power needed to conquer the universe, with the temple as the center of his power base. However, his actions attracted the attention of He-Man, who destroyed the scarab. ("Temple of the Sun")
