Temple of Hathor, Bas-relief Hieroglyphs, 1870s

Entitled: "Bas-relief and hieroglyphics cover wall in the Temple of Hathor, located in Dendara, Egypt." Dendera Temple complex is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt. The whole complex covers almost 10 acres and is surrounded by a hefty mud brick enclosed wall. Dendera was a site for chapels or shrines from the beginning of history of ancient Egypt. The all overshadowing building in the Complex is the main temple, namely Hathor temple (historically, called the Temple of Tentyra). The temple has been modified on the same site starting as far back as the Middle Kingdom, and continuing right up until the time of the Roman emperor Trajan. The existing structure was built no later than the late Ptolemaic period. The temple, dedicated to Hathor, is one of the best preserved temples in all Egypt. Photographed by Félix Bonfils, circa 1870-80.
