The Temple of Dendur: A Guide to its Goddesses and Gods

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the awarding of the Temple of Dendur to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I’m adding to this site a complete guide to the deities depicted on the temple, allowing a visitor to easily look up who is depicted in any of the surviving scenes and read the inscriptions. I created this guide for my personal use some time ago. To my knowledge, no other exists, though the information is readily available from A. M. Blackman’s The Temple of Dendûr (Cairo: IFAO, 1911), while the inscriptions are available in transliterated form and French translation here.
