The Temple at Dendera was dedicated to the goddess, Hathor. She is usually depicted as a sacred cow or as a woman with cow horns. One of the many captivating features of the temple is a hypostyle hall with columns of "Hathor-headed" capitals. Unfortunately, they were defaced by Christians some time after the decline of Egypt's mighty empire.

An interesting note about the ancient Egyptian temples: they all had a sacred cove or room with an altar called the Holy of Holies. Only the high priests were allowed to enter the Holy of Holies in ancient times (not even the pharaoh could go in). We also honored that African tradition by not stepping inside.
