  Dendera Temple Complex

  Hathor was among the most important and popular deities in ancient Egypt. She was associated with music, joy, dance, and motherhood; she was also known as the Lady of the Sky. Her main cult center was at Dendera where one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt stands today. The entrance of the temple, with six massive columns surmounted by the head of Hathor, is considered among the most beautiful monuments in Egypt. Sistrums (a musical instrument) closely associated with the goddess, frame her head. The temple of Dendera dates back to the Ptolemaic Period, although evidence points to older structures once existing on the site, dating as far back as King Pepy I, from the Old Kingdom. Among the temple’s most notable features are astronomical engravings on its ceiling.
