Temple de Dendour

Roman Period
completed by 10 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 131
Le temple de Dendour a été offert aux États-Unis par l’Égypte en reconnaissance de leur contribution à la sauvegarde des monuments de Nubie. S’il n’avait pas été démonté, le temple serait sous les eaux du Nil, derrière le grand barrage d’Assouan. Bien qu’il soit petit en comparaison de ses homologues en Égypte, Dendour possède tous les éléments essentiels d’un temple : un portique, un pronaos (vestibule), une chambre d’offrandes, et un sanctuaire. Les chapiteaux des colonnes ont la forme de plantes, et les bas-reliefs décrivent le pharaon faisant des offrandes aux dieux.
