Pics of the Temples and Tombs: Dendera




Dendera was the last Temple complex on our visit. We did this one ourselves! We just hired a driver and drove through the beautiful, lush countryside -- to arrive at this place. We were there virtually by ourselves -- which was quite a change from the busloads of people we were with in the major sites. At this place, we were able to see the difference between the cleaned and uncleaned columns. The colors at this temple were quite well preserved -- As the columns are cleaned the brown dirt comes off and the beautiful blues and reds start to appear.
