👽 Did Ancient Egyptians Have Electric Lamps?
The image known as the Dendera light is found on three stone reliefs in the temple and, at first glance, could be construed as a bulb similar to a Crookes tube, with a lotus “socket” at one end, a “cable” traveling underneath, and a snake-shaped cord “filament”⚡ ⚡ ⚡ inside. In the most popular representation of the so-called Dendera light a priest is shown holding up the “lamp” and a few smaller figures are seen below it.
🚀 🚀 🚀 One of the figures appears to be directing the “lightbulb” upwards. A two-armed Djed pillar is also shown with the “bulb” and the hands are apparently connected to the snake/cord inside. A baboon is presented in front of the “lamp” while holding two knives in front of itself.
🛕 🛕 🛕 The Dendara Complex is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt.
The best temple are those those not swarming with tourists.
At Dendera, wandering the quiet, cool colonnade, looking up in awe,
Actually Queen Cleopatra VII (yes, that Cleopatra) wrapped up construction.
The Temple of Hathor remains - in fact, with Philae, it’s one of the best-preserved temples of the Greco-Roman period in Egypt.
Hathor was one of the most popular goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon
was associated with fertility and female sexuality. (No surprise that the Greeks connected her with Aphrodite.
The sky goddess Nut frames this part of the ceiling, swallowing the sun at twilight and giving birth to it in the morning. You can also see signs of the zodiac, including Taurus the Bull and Sagittarius the Archer
It features a chart of the heavens, including signs of the zodiac, which the Romans introduced. You’ll also see the goddess Nut in her typical position: straight-armed and straight-legged, forming three sides of a square to represent the sky. 🏛️ Every evening she swallows the sun, which then passes through her body, until she gives birth to it the next day at dawn.
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️Secret passageways lead to subterranean crypts, where treasure was hidden away.
The walls are covered with the most bizarre hieroglyphics we have seen on this trip.
😃 After descending into the secret passageway, we took a corridor up to the top of the temple. It spiraled up gradually as a tribute to the falcon-headed god Horus, mimicking the circling pattern of the birds of prey when rising into the sky.
At the top of the structure is a small temple that was used for rituals to greet the rising sun.
