Templo de Dendur

Roman Period
completed by 10 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 131
El templo de Dendur fue un regalo de Egipto a los Estados Unidos en reconocimiento por la ayuda prestada para salvar los monumentos de Nubia. Si no hubiera sido desmontado, este templo habría quedado sumergido por las aguas del Nilo al construirse la presa de Asuán. Aunque es de pequeño tamaño en comparación con los templos que todavía permanecen en Egipto, Dendur posee todos los componentes esenciales de un templo: una puerta, un pórtico (pronaos), una cámara para las ofrendas y un santuario. Las columnas están rematadas por capiteles vegetales, y los relieves en las paredes muestran al faraón haciendo ofrendas a los dioses.
