Dendera is the location of the temple devoted to the Goddess Hathor, who is associated with love, music, happiness, motherhood, turquoise stones, and the sycamore tree. The entire temple complex encompasses around 40,000 square meters and is protected by a substantial mudbrick wall. People have lived in Dendera since primitive times, making it a vital oasis along the Nile riverbank. It’s believed that the pharaoh Pepi I (approx. 2250 BC) constructed something on this site and there are indications of a temple from the Eighteenth Dynasty (approx. 1500 BC). The earliest standing structure inside the compound today is the mammisi erected by Nectanebo II – the last of the native pharaohs (360–343 BC). The diverse features within the complex include:
- The Hathor temple (the primary temple)
- The Temple of Isis’s birth
- Sacred Lake
