Dendera Temple complex, (Ancient Egyptian: ''Iunet'' or ''Tantere''; the 19th-century English spelling in most sources, including Belzoni, was Tentyra) is located about 2.5 km south-east of Dendera, Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt. The area was used as the sixth Nome of Upper Egypt, south of Abydos. ==Description== The whole complex covers some 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a hefty mud brick enclosed wall. Dendera was a site for chapels or shrines from the beginning of history of ancient Egypt. It seems that pharaoh Pepi I (ca. 2250 BC) built on this site and evidence exists of a temple in the eighteenth dynasty (ca 1500 BC). But the earliest extant building in the compound today is the Mammisi raised by Nectanebo II – last of the native pharaohs (360–343 BC). The features in the complex include * ''Hathor temple'' (the main temple), * ''Temple of the birth of Isis'', * ''Sacred Lake'', * ''Sanatorium'', * ''Mammisi of Nectanebo II'', * ''Christian Basilica'', * ''Roman Mammisi'', * a ''Bark shine'', * ''Gateways of Domitian & Trajan'' and * the ''Roman Kiosk''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dendera Temple complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
