Temple of Dendur

The most important artwork in the Metropolitan Museum is the Temple of Dangar, and because a local water project in Egypt will cause the area where the temple is located to disappear, the United States will help him protect the entire temple area. The local government of Egypt gave the entire temple to the United States in order to thank the United States government, so a brick and a stone here are all moved from the Egyptian side and put together. It is worth watching, although it is not particularly large inside. But I still need to queue up to see it. Let me, a person who has not been to Egypt, be able to witness the Egyptian temple in advance.

The temple is a very ancient cultural relics of Egypt, donated by Egypt to the United States for protection, attracted many people to visit, appreciate the ancient culture of Egypt, is a place worth visiting, breathtaking

The temple is from the Lower Nubian region, the Roman period, about 15 BC, wind-formed sandstone, from the gate to the temple 25 meters long. It was presented to the United States by Egypt in 1965, awarded to the Metropolitan Museum in 1967, and housed in this Sackler Pavilion in 1978. The Egyptian government gave the temple to the United States to reward the United States for its assistance in protecting the historical relics of Nubian. If it is not demolished, it should have been submerged in the Nile River after the Aswan High Dam. Although the size of the temple is small compared to the grand temples of Egypt, it has all the basic components of a temple, a gate, a porch, a sacrificial chamber and a shrine. The porch columns had plant pillars, and reliefs on the walls depicted Pharaoh's offerings to the gods.
