The Temple of Dendur is gorgeous 𓄤 – the room that it is located in makes it actually feel like you are along the Nile River 𓇋𓏏𓂋𓅱𓈗𓈘𓈇𓏺 in Egypt 𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖!
This room is one of my absolute favorite places – sometimes I like to sit on one of the benches and just enjoy the atmosphere of it! Visiting the temple only makes me want to go to Egypt 𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖 more!
The temple 𓉟𓏏𓉐 was actually commissioned by Augustus and building was complete by 10 B.C. Dendur is located in Nubia, and is just south of Aswan. Even though the temple 𓉟𓏏𓉐 was built by Augustus, it definitely follows Egyptian style and not Roman style. The emperor is actually presented as a pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 worshipping Egyptian gods 𓊹𓊹𓊹 on the walls of the temple 𓉟𓏏𓉐. The temple 𓉟𓏏𓉐 was primarily used to worship the goddess 𓊹𓏏 Isis 𓊨𓏏𓁥.
