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.
