The contrast with its previous blackened, unrestored condition is dramatic, giving an entirely different impression from our previous visit.๐“ค The Temple of Hathor ๐“‰ก โ€œhฬฃw.t-hฬฃrโ€ at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines ๐“ˆ–๐“’๐“ˆ–๐“‰๐“ฌ โ€œnhฬฎn.wโ€.
