Temple of Hathor Tour

Tue, Oct 19: Dendera, Egypt

Temple of Hathor in Dendera. It’s famous for a stone relief called, the Dendera Lightbulb. Nice, fat columns here, with some original faded colors, even on the ceiling.

To get to the lightbulb, head to the back of the temple. Then go down the stairs to get to the narrow hallway.
The skinny passageway where the Dendera lightbulb is located.
I always imagined the Dendera Lightbulb was on the side of a large room. But it’s actually on one side of the narrow hallway.
Definitely need a lightbulb to see this.

I’m guessing this is a male lion?
