Dans l'axe du temple, le vestibule était la salle de transition entre le profane et le sacré. La porte de sa paroi sud était fermée par de lourds montants, du fait qu'il était possible d'accéder par la paroi nord au sanctuaire et au couloir menant aux chapelles qui l’entourent. La paroi nord du vestibule est constituée par la façade du sanctuaire, avec chaque côté de cette façade, le vestibule donnant accès au couloir qui fait le tour du sanctuaire et conduit aux petites chapelles qui entourent l’entoure (cf. egypte-eternelle.org, merci Valérie Turnel pour la photo).

The Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation sculpture - Statue of Calouste Gulbenkian & Falcon God Horus.
This statue of Horus depicts Calouste Gulbenkian (in bronze) seated in front of the God Horus (the Falcon in stone).
The sculpture was made by Antonio Leopoldo de Almeida in 1969 from a picture of Gulbenkian seated by the God Horus in the Egyptian Pantheon.
Dendera temple has many passages and chambers hidden within its walls, the best known being the subterranean crypts of which one is open to visitors and accessed through the floor of a chamber at the rear of the temple. This is a long narrow space like a corridor that stretches most of the width of the main building, and given how confined this place is we were lucky to have it to ourselves.
The walls are adorned with relief carving throughout, mainly with images of Hathor and other familiar deities. There are however some more unusual scenes including three representations of figures holding huge elongated plant like forms that have infamously been referred to as the 'Dendera lighbulbs' owing to their strange form.
Access to the crypt is rather awkward and not for the unfit, faint-hearted or claustrophobic: see the video below for a sense of the confined space.

The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines. This magnificent edifice dates to the Ptolemaic period, late in Egyptian history, though the site long had been the cult centre for the goddess Hathor for centuries before (the earliest extant remains date to c360BC but a temple is recorded here as far back as c2250BC). Most of the main building dates to the reigns of the last Cleopatras and further decoration and building work within the complex continued in the Roman period up to the reign of Trajan.
The dominant structure in the complex is the Temple of Hathor, an enormous structure with a rectangular facade punctuated by the Hathor-headed columns of the hypostyle hall within. This hall is an architectural wonder, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design and decoration, which covers every surface and has been recently cleaned, revealing a superb astrological ceiling in all its original vibrant colours.
Sadly there was much iconoclasm here during the early Christian period and most of the reliefs of the walls and pillars have been defaced. Worse still is the damage to the 24 Hathor-head capitals: not one of the nearly a hundred huge faces of the goddess that once smiled down on this hall has been left unblemished, most with their features cruelly chiselled away.
The main temple building is otherwise structurally intact, and extends into further halls and chapels beyond, again with much relief decoration (much of which is again defaced). In one corner is an entrance to a crypt below, an unusual feature in Egyptian temple architecture consisting of several narrow passages adorned with carved relief decoration in good condition.
There are further sanctuaries and chapels above on the roof of the temple, accessed by a decorated staircase and including the room where the famous Dendera Zodiac was formerly located (today its place in the ceiling taken by a cast of the original, now displayed in Paris). The highest part of the roof complex is no longer accessible to tourists, but I can still recall making the ascent there on our first visit in 1992.
Several other buildings surround the main temple, the most impressive of which is the mammisi or 'birth-house'. This consists of a large rectangluar hall surrounded by a colonnade near the entrance to the site and has some well preserved relief decoration on its exterior. Most of this structure dates to the Roman period, but the ruins of its predecessor built under Nectanebo II (Egypt's last native pharoah) stand nearby.
Dendera temple is one of the most rewarding in Egypt and shouldn't be missed. It is one of the most complete and evocative ancient monuments in the country and its recent restoration has revealed a surprisingly extensive amount of colour surviving within (we were amazed by the dramatic contrast with the soot-blackened ceiling we'd beheld on our previous visit in the 1990s). Despite its relative youth (in Egyptian terms at least!) it is easily one of my favourite sites in Egypt.

The one thing I do the most in SL is listen to music & I love that it keeps music in my life, & exposes me to genres I wouldn't necessarily seek out on my own. Music has been a part of me all my life, I learned to read music at a very young age & I play classical piano. Then in my teens I spent all my summer job money on a kick-ass stereo & used to pack my vinyls & stereo in my mother's car & DJ at friends parties. So it seemed a natural thing for me to start Djing in SL this time around. Every 2 weeks you can find me in CUBE24, where I'm also a head manager & you can check out my schedule for other gigs.

Dedicated to Horus, the falcon headed god, it was built during the reigns of six Ptolemies. We have a great deal of information about its construction from reliefs on outer areas. It was begun in 237 BC by Ptolemy III Euergetes I and was finished in 57 BC. Most of the work continued throughout this period with a brief interlude of 20 years while there was unrest during the period of Ptolemy IV and Ptolemy V Epiphanes.
This is not only the best preserved ancient temple in Egypt, but the second largest after Karnak. It was believed that the temple was built on the site of the great battle between Horus and Seth. Hence, the current temple was but the last in a long series of temples build on this location. It is said that the original structure housing a statue of Horus was a grass hut built in prehistoric times. - touregypt.net

The world has changed much in its outer forms since the ancient Egyptians drew the Eye of Horus. Have people fundamentally changed since that time?

La barca de Horus en el templo del mismo nombre en Edfu. Hace 5000 años aqui había un lugar de enterramiento al ser el centro del culto al dios halcón Horus de Behdet. Sin embargo el templo es del año 230 antes de Cristo y terminado por el padre de Cleopatra, Tolomeo VII.
Hace 200 años el templo estaba enterrado bajo arena, escombros y parte del pueblo de Edfu, que se había extendido sobre el tejado.
Aqui vemos una reproducción de la barca de madera en la que se sacaba la estatua de Horus para llevarla de procesión durante las festividades. En ciertas ocasiones el dios debía unirse al disco solar en el patio del Año Nuevo al que se accede por la "sala pura", en cuyo techo se representa el recorrido de la barca solar durante las doce horas del día. La estatua debía cargarse de energía divina , para eso la estatua se exponía a los rayos del sol y bajaba por la otra escalera (enfrente). La estatua del dios recibe a diario los cuidados de los sacerdotes que lo despiertan cada mañana, lo visten, le ofrecen alimentos y cantan himnos en su honor. Por la tarde preparan al dios para el descanso nocturno.

The star exhibit has for the best part of a century been the treasure's of Tutankhamun's tomb (discovered in 1922) which occupy two whole galleries on the upper floor. However this arrangement will soon change as the entire Tutankhamun collection (along with several other important pieces) will be transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum currently being prepared in Giza. A few pieces (that I recalled from our previous visit in 1995) had already been moved, and by now doubtless others will have followed, with plans for a partial opening of the new museum with its purpose-designed Tutankhamun galleries scheduled for late 2018.
