The Temple of Hathor is the largest and most impressive of the buildings in this religious complex. It is visually stunning with a grand entrance.

Find a painted, raised relief of Bes near the Roman Gate of Dendera Temple of Hathor. Bes is the Egyptian household god who protected mother and child during childbirth. He is a bow-legged muscular dwarf with a ferocious facial expression. His guardianship role was suited to his appearance, which was supposed to frighten away evil spirits. Bes is a great hit with children!
Temple Of Seti I
The temple of Seti (Abydos) has an unusual L-shaped ground plan and was built primarily of limestone, with the occasional use of sandstone in different areas throughout the structure. The temple was completed after Seti I's death, by his son, Ramesses II, whose cartouches are found in certain parts of the temple, along with his characteristic sunk relief style, that is different from the very fine raised relief of his father.
