Temple of Hathor, Dendera: The Facade

The front of the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, north of Luxor, with the goddess's face crowning each of the six columns across the entrance. The temple was rebuilt in the last century of the Ptolemies, and an inscription over the doorway credits the Roman emperor Tiberius with this columned front hall. Its roof, stairways and crypts survive, which makes it one of the most complete temples in Egypt.
