Temple
of Hathor
The temple at Dendera, dedicated to Hathor,
belongs to the Ptolemaic era of Egypt. This was a
time of foreign rulers, but who adopted Egyptian
culture and religion. Yet, there were changes with
this and contemporary temples, compared to temples
built more than a 1000 years earlier.

The temple of Hathor at Dendera was built between
125 BCE and 65 CE belonging to the Greaco-Roman
period. It is therefore more a continuation of the
original Egyptian culture, than a part of it.
Dendera had since long been a cult centre, also
then with the goddess of joy, Hathor, as the
central deity. The Birth House of Nectanebo is 200
years older than the temple. |
