Templo de Dendur

Roman Period
completed by 10 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 131
O Templo de Dendur foi um presente do Egito para os Estados Unidos em reconhecimento pela ajuda prestada para salvar os monumentos da Núbia. Se não tivesse sido removido, este templo teria sido submerso pelas águas Nilo para construir a represa de Assuan. Embora seja de pequeno tamanho se comparado com os templos que ainda permanecem no Egito, Dendur apresenta todos os componentes essenciais de um templo: um pórtico (pronaos), uma câmara para as oferendas e um santuário. As colunas são completadas por capitéis vegetais e os relevos nas paredes mostram o faraó fazendo oferendas ao deus Thoth de Pnubs.
