The Temple of Dendur - Art History Research

...

The Temple of Dendur is such a breathtaking piece of artifact; anyone would be amazed when seeing it. The Temple was mainly built to honor the god; the Egyptians valued the god more than anything. This temple is very symbolic, because it was made to honor the Goddess Isis. The temple also stands as a monument for the two sons of a Nubian chief. The temple of Dendur presents many Egyptian style structures such as the sunken relief of the gods, and the use of sandstone.
