Dendera

A.K.A. the House of Hathor

 

 

The main entrance. Most likely one of several gates in a high wall surrounding the temple. Not much remains of that wall.

 

Possibly a Greek inspired figure

 

The pleasant face of the goddess Hathor. These topped many of the columns of the Ptolemic era (Greek - Egyptian) temple, but most were defaced by Christians

 

Different structural parts showing Hathor's likeness

 

 

 

 

 

All of these lovely carved fragments are sitting on the ground behind the main entrance
