A very amazing and beautiful scene from the burial chamber in the cemetery of Sin Najm in Deir Al-Madina, the western mainland, Luxor, one of the most beautiful cemeteries that still retains all its colors 👀😍 We see a scene representing the god Anubis taking care of the mummy of the deceased lying on a bed that took the form of a lion, in addition to some texts from the Book of the Dead. And she, in turn, helps the deceased to overcome the difficulties he faces on his eternal journey to the other world 🙏🇪🇬🙏

⚘️ The Dendera Temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor and its construction, beginning in the reign of Nectanebo I, continued into the Roman period. The temple has two decorated crypts, two halls with ceilings supported by columns and two funeral chapels, from where the famous "zodiac" from the Louvre comes.Hathor was among the most important and popular deities in ancient Egypt. She was associated with music and motherhood, she was also known as the lady of the sky. Her main cult center was at Dendera where one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt stands today. The entrance of the temple, with six massive columns surmounted with the head of Hathor,is considered among the most beautiful monuments in Egypt. Sistrums (a musical instrument) closely associated with the goddess, frame her head.The temple of Dendera dates back to the Ptolemaic Period, although evidence points to older structures once existing on the sitedating as far back as king Pepy II, from the Old Kingdom. Among the temple’s most notable features are astronomical engravings on its ceiling.One of the primary celebrations that took place at Dendera was for the Egyptian New Year. The night before the new year, a statue of Hathor was brought out on a shrine and placed on the roof of the temple to receive the sun’s first rays, which symbolically renewed and the rejuvenated the goddess.
