I've scanned some of my photos from a travel to Egypt (1991). Maybe there will come some more photos of Egypt soon. By the way, because of the sunbeams: Attention: A partial solar eclipse will occur on January 4, 2011. The partial eclipse will be visible near sunrise over most of Europe and northeastern Asia. It will end at sunset over Western Asia. It will be visible as a minor partial eclipse over Northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula. eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OH2011.html#SE2011Jan04P ----- Dendera is a little town in Egypt on the west bank of the Nile, about 5 km south from Qina, on the opposite side of the Nile. Dendera Temple complex, located about 2.5 km south-east of Dendera is one of the best preserved complexes in Egypt. The all overshadowing building in the Complex is the main temple, namely Hathor temple. The temple is well-known for it's zodiac relief. === Ich habe ein paar Fotos von meiner Reise nach Ägypten (1991) gescannt. Vielleicht kommen demnächst ein paar mehr Fotos von dieser Reise. Apropos Sonnenstrahlen: ACHTUNG: Am 04.01.2011 findet eine partielle Sonnenfinsternis statt, deren Sichtbarkeitszone Nordafrika, Westasien und fast ganz Europa umfasst. Das Maximum der Finsternis wird unweit der nordschwedischen Stadt Skellefteå bei 64°39'30'' nördlicher Breite und 20°50'22'' östlicher Länge erreicht. Hier werden knapp 80% der Sonnenscheibe vom Mond bedeckt. Auch bei uns wird ein beachtlicher Bedeckungsgrade von durchschnittlich etwa 70% erreicht. Die Bedeckung der Sonne startet kurz nach Sonnenaufgang, ein freier Blick nach Südosten ist notwendig, da die Sonne während der Bedeckungsphase nah dem Horizont bleibt. Zeitplan für München: Sonnenaufgang: 8:01 Uhr Beginn: 8:04 Uhr Maximum: 9:18 Uhr Ende: 10:44 Uhr Maximale Bedeckung: 76,4% Beim Beobachten unbedingt Schutzbrillen aufsetzen!! www.sofi2011.de/ ----- Das Foto ist übrigens in Dendera, im Hathor-Tempel aufgenommen, einem der besterhaltensten Tempel in Ägypten überhaupt. Der Tempel ist darüber hinaus sehr bekannt für seine Tierkreise und die ungewöhnliche Darstellung von Kultgegenständen (Glühbirnen!), die den Tempel immer wieder zum Ziel grenzwissenschaftlicher Spekulationen machten. Dendera (auch Dendara, Dandara, Dendrah; altägyptisch Tantarer, Taentem) ist ein Ort in Oberägypten mit einem archäologisch bedeutenden Hathor-Tempel. Dendera liegt etwas mehr als 55 km nördlich von Luxor am linken Ufer des Nil gegenüber der Stadt Kena (Kene) am Rande der Wüste.
Relief panel from the impressive mammisi at Dendera dating mainly to the Roman period, these scenes depicting Emperor Trajan in Egyptian guise making offerings to Hathor. Much of the rich external carving was never finished, but on the south side it is fairly complete and in good condition (aside from the defaced Bes figures above the capitals). The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines. This magnificent edifice dates to the Ptolemaic period, late in Egyptian history, though the site long had been the cult centre for the goddess Hathor for centuries before (the earliest extant remains date to c360BC but a temple is recorded here as far back as c2250BC). Most of the main building dates to the reigns of the last Cleopatras and further decoration and building work within the complex continued in the Roman period up to the reign of Trajan. The dominant structure in the complex is the Temple of Hathor, an enormous structure with a rectangular facade punctuated by the Hathor-headed columns of the hypostyle hall within. This hall is an architectural wonder, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design and decoration, which covers every surface and has been recently cleaned, revealing a superb astrological ceiling in all its original vibrant colours. Sadly there was much iconoclasm here during the early Christian period and most of the reliefs of the walls and pillars have been defaced. Worse still is the damage to the 24 Hathor-head capitals: not one of the nearly a hundred huge faces of the goddess that once smiled down on this hall has been left unblemished, most with their features cruelly chiselled away. The main temple building is otherwise structurally intact, and extends into further halls and chapels beyond, again with much relief decoration (much of which is again defaced). In one corner is an entrance to a crypt below, an unusual feature in Egyptian temple architecture consisting of several narrow passages adorned with carved relief decoration in good condition. There are further sanctuaries and chapels above on the roof of the temple, accessed by a decorated staircase and including the room where the famous Dendera Zodiac was formerly located (today its place in the ceiling taken by a cast of the original, now displayed in Paris). The highest part of the roof complex is no longer accessible to tourists, but I can still recall making the ascent there on our first visit in 1992. Several other buildings surround the main temple, the most impressive of which is the mammisi or 'birth-house'. This consists of a large rectangluar hall surrounded by a colonnade near the entrance to the site and has some well preserved relief decoration on its exterior. Most of this structure dates to the Roman period, but the ruins of its predecessor built under Nectanebo II (Egypt's last native pharoah) stand nearby. Dendera temple is one of the most rewarding in Egypt and shouldn't be missed. It is one of the most complete and evocative ancient monuments in the country and its recent restoration has revealed a surprisingly extensive amount of colour surviving within (we were amazed by the dramatic contrast with the soot-blackened ceiling we'd beheld on our previous visit in the 1990s). Despite its relative youth (in Egyptian terms at least!) it is easily one of my favourite sites in Egypt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_Temple_complex
