Koning Taharqo en God Amon , Oxford, Engeland

Amon was originally the tutelary god of Thebes. But by making that city the capital of the Egyptian Empire, Amon rose to the rank of king of the gods. Their cult extended beyond Egypt, through Asia and the interior of Africa.

Taharqo ordered the rebuilding of the Kawa Temple, next to today's Dongola, which became the headquarters of the Kush kings. He also ordered construction in other places of Kush, and restoration work in Karnak Temple.

Dendur temple moved from Egypt to USA

 

In 1963, as part of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, UNESCO helped rescue and relocate the temple from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam. Egypt gave the temple to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which has exhibited it since 1978

The Temple of Dendur (Dendoor in the 19th century) is a Roman Egyptian religious structure originally located in Tuzis (later Dendur), Nubia about 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of modern Aswan. Around 23 BCE, Emperor Augustus commissioned the temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis and deified brothers Pedesi and Pihor from Nubia

DENDUR 1874

History

Petronius, the Roman governor of Egypt, built the Temple of Dendur at the request of Caesar Augustus, the emperor of Rome that included Egypt at that time. Originally named Octavian, Augustus became emperor after defeating Mark Antony and Egyptian Queen Cleopatra in 31 BCE. During his reign, Augustus had Egyptian-style temples built and dedicated to Egyptian gods and goddesses. However, he only commissioned a few temples in Nubia. One of those was the Temple of Dendur which he placed on the west bank of the Nile river in Tuzis (later Dendur, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of modern Aswan). Construction started in 23 BCE and finished in 10 BCE.

Augustus used the temple to legitimize and maintain his rule. Part of his strategy was connecting his name and image with Isis, the primary deity in Dendur, and the local cult of Pedesi and Pihor. It was more than a temple—it was also a home for the gods. When the local people visited the temple and brought traditional gifts of incense, wine, cold water, clothing, food, and milk, they nurtured their ruler, Augustus, and also ensured their community's prosperity.

In the sixth century, Coptic Christians used the temple as a church.

When Egypt increased the height of the Aswan Low Dam in 1933, the temple's proximity to the Nile was problematic. The temple complex began flooding for nine months each year.

Egypt’s Dendera Temple Will Open to Visitors in June

Entrance Egyptians 50le Tourists 100le

 After an extensive restoration effort, Upper Egypt’s Dendera Temple Complex will open to visitors this June. The temple’s catacombs were used as a space for religious rituals in ancient Egypt.

The temple is one of the country’s most well-preserved monuments from the Roman era. Situated in the Qena governorate, just southeast of Dendera, the complex spans 40,000 square metres.

The Dendera temple complex was constructed over 200 years by King Ptolemy as an ode to his love for the goddess Hathor. Dendera also houses the Hathor temple, the Temple of the birth of Isis, and a Barque shrine.

Visitors will be able to enter the temple starting June 1st. Tickets will be available for EGP 50 for Egyptians and EGP 100 for foreigners.

The tomb of Pashedu TT3 - 21 hd pictures

The beauty of the tomb from Pashedu 

 Pashedu was an ancient Egyptian artisan. Pashedu lived in Deir el-Medina on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reign of Seti I. Pashedu was a son of Menna and Huy. His wife was named Nedjmet-behdet. Pashedu was the owner of tomb TT3 and likely TT326. His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs. Pashedu seems to have succeeded Baki as foreman for the left side during the reign of Ramesses II.

A son named Menna is mentioned in TT3. He was named after his paternal grandfather. Another son named Qaha is mentioned in the tomb as well. It is possible a third man named Nebenmaat (attested in TT219) is a son of Pashedu as well.

We'll be bringing you only the best documentaries that journey into the mysteries and ruins of worlds long lost.

PYRAMIDS documentary

this is one of the many documentary . this monument will stay forever a question

For over four and a half thousand years the pyramids of Egypt have stood as wonders of the world.  The facts are astonishing, the Great Pyramid alone weighs almost six million tons and contains over 2.3 million stone blocks.  Naked Science sets out to uncover four great mysteries that still surround the pyramids, how were they built, who built them, why were they built, and what secrets may still lie hidden within their stones.  As four millennia and countless generations stand between us and the men who built the pyramids we have to study the buildings themselves to uncover the answers. 

With British engineer Denys Stocks we learn the art of pyramid building.  Stocks has spent twenty years mastering the techniques used by the ancient workmen and shows how such vast quantities of stone were quarried, transported and fitted by a civilisation that had not even invented the wheel.  To show the scale of the achievement we asked construction manager and pyramid scholar Craig Smith to calculate what it would take to build a pyramid in today’s money.

We may know the names of the pharaohs who commissioned the pyramids but who actually hauled the blocks.  Legends have always held that slaves built the pyramids but we venture into the science of Forensic Egyptology to discover the truth.  Mark Lehner discovered the town of the pyramid builders while Zahi Hawass takes us on a tour of their tombs.

There may be few records of how the pyramids were built but hieroglyphic texts within some pyramids hint at their reveal purpose.  Salima Ikram and Jim Allen help us find for the reason why the pyramids were built within these spells and incantations.  However Robert Bauval, believes there may be deep connections between the pyramids and astronomy.  He believes links to the stars are hidden within their stones and chambers.

Finally we follow work in pyramid exploration as teams hunt for hidden chambers and use robots to explore the mysterious shafts at the centre of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Egypt's Dendera Temple | near Qena

Dear followers i had the chance to see the compleet temple first time in 2014 myself, i guaranty the most impressive temple in Egypt, became my favorit and visited several times

The Temple of Dendera is one of the best-preserved sites in Egypt. It was known as the “Castle of the Sistrum” or “Pr Hathor' (Place/House of Hathor). There have been temples on this site since at least  the Old Kingdom as a goat-skin scroll suggested it was much older and associated with the 'Followers of Horus.' The present temple was built in the reign of Ptolemy VIII. The building we see today was constructed and added to from about 116 BC to 34 AD. In this video we explore the underground chamber with carvings of what look giant light bulbs. We also climb the melted stone staircase that looks like acid or lava has turned it soft. JJ Ainsworth also introduces us to the Dwarf God 'Bes', and we take a look at one of the earliest Zodiacs carved in stone on the ceiling of the upper temple. Join Hugh, JJ, Yousef Awyan and guest speaker Ralph Ellis on the 5-Star Megalithomania Grand Tour from October 26th - November 7th 2022.

THE RAMESSEUM – RAMSES II'S IMMORTAL LEGACY

This video explores the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of the pharaoh who came to be known as Ramses the Great for his major accomplishments in Ancient Egypt. Indeed, the Ramesseum was built by the Nineteenth Dynasty pharaoh Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, whose reign stretched between 1,279 and 1,213 BC during the New Kingdom, ruling Egypt for an astounding 66 years. Constructing this mortuary temple ensured to keep the pharaoh’s memory alive after his death.
