Dendera
|
 |
This temple really was hit hard by acts of Christian vandalism, inside, and as you will see, outside |
 |
You can see that the faces here have all been chiseled away |
 |
Right down to the small, now all faceless, figures. These people spent a lot of time doing this to the entire building |
 |
The far side, and here, too, the stone tiles that formed the surrounding walkway are still in place |
 |
Another gate in the surrounding wall, and as you can see, much more excavations to be done for future archaeologists |
 |
All Egyptian temples have a sacred pool (or lake). This one, now dry, has palm trees growing in it. |
 |
Not exactly overrun with tourists either. The main temple and a smaller one near the main entrance |
