Highlights
- Dendera Temple Complex - The entire area of the complex spans approximately 40,000 square meters, encircled by a substantial wall made of mudbrick. Dendera has been settled since prehistoric times, serving as a vital oasis along the Nile River. It is believed that Pharaoh Pepi I (around 2250 BC) established structures at this location, and there is evidence of a temple from the Eighteenth Dynasty (around 1500 BC). The oldest surviving structure within the complex is the Mammisi, which was constructed by Nectanebo II
- the final sovereign of Egypt’s native dynasty (360-343 BC).
