DAILY DENDARA AND ABYDOS TOUR ITINERARY:
Dendara, the Temple of Hathor is between two Roman fountains that end at the
massive entry gate.
Hathor was the goddess of pleasure and love and was generally shown as a cow, or
woman with a cow's head.
The enclosure walls are mud-brick and date to the Roman era.Within the walls are
the temple, two birth houses, a Coptic Basilica, a sanitarium, a sacred lake and
the Temple of the Birth of Isis.
The temple has a long history with evidence that Pepi I (Old Kingdom) rebuilt
the temple, while other texts refer to reconditioning by Thutmose III, Amenhotep
III and Rameses II and III (New Kingdom).
Abydos in Middle Egypt is an ancient holy place and burial ground of the rulers
of the late prehistoric proto-kingdom, as well as the first attested kings of
the politically unified Egyptian state.
Buildings constituting the settlement area in northern Abydos dating back to
Predynastic times have been found around Kom es-Sultan, while recent excavators
have found an Old Kingdom residential area to the south-east which contains a
street of mudbrick houses with courtyards and a faience workshop with its kilns.
Abydos is home to "The Cult of Osiris", the god of the dead. It is said the head
of Osiris was buried at the site after he was murdered by his brother.
