Hator Temple
The Temple of Hattur, which was built on this place, was famous during the ancient sixth dynasty, and its construction was developed later during the era of the Greeks and Romans. It was established on the shore of the Nile, taking a direction from north to south. And the basis of its structure, which was built during the Ptolemaic era, dates back in its image to the ancient temple. The construction of the parts of the temple that can now be visited began during the Ptolemaic era, and was completed by the Roman Caesars.
The process of building the new temple lasted about 200 years, and is characterized by unique architecture, rich in paintings and engravings. There are also hieroglyphic manuscripts on its walls. The walls and columns are covered with beautifully carved statues. The inscriptions on the inner walls of the temple show the Roman Caesars Augustus, Tiberius, and Nero making offerings to the gods in the manner that the ancient Egyptians used to follow.
