Philae Temple of Hathor
Philae Temple of Hathor submitted by AlexHunger : Temple of Hathor at Philae. N24.02551 E32.88446 East-West orientation. Built by Ptolemy VI and added to by Augustus. The locals call it the "Disco" on account of the musical and dancing scenes in the reliefs. There are also scenes of the dwarf god Bes, sacred to childbirth, whose cult is often associated with Hathor, a mother goddess as well as a love goddess. (Vote or comment on this photo)
