While in Egypt, it’s perfect time for an iPhone Friday post with one of the many wonderful sites. Yesterday, we visited the Temple at Dendera that is dedicated to the goddess Hathor. We were lucky enough to have the entire site nearly to ourselves, which made for a more immersive experience during this visit.
Here is an image from that visit…
The hall of columns is truly massive in scale and truly imposing. One of the amazing features of this temple is that one can see the cleaning process of the painted walls and ceilings making progress. As cooking fires created a rather sooty layer on much of the temple, careful removal of that layer is revealing the amazing colors once again.
In future posts, I will share images of cleaned surfaces, so the amazing colors can be seen!
