The Temple of Apshai [1] is an unusual temple from which Apshai once ruled all of Egypt until he was overthrown. The temple's Crystal Capstone is said to be the true source of Apshai's powers. [2] [3] [4]

History[]

In the early 1990s, Apshai appeared in New York City and ordered an army of Enlarged Insects to rebuild his temple. They scavenged whatever they could find in the vicinity, even Ecto-1, to finish the temple. Once it was completed, the capstone was placed atop it. The Ghostbusters destroyed the capstone to defeat Apshai. Among the many things that happened after the capstone's destruction, the temple disintegrated.

They set sail with the crystal and were never seen again."
