EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient and awe-inspiring image captures the Dendera Temple in Egypt, home to one of the most intriguing mythological rituals in Egyptian history. The photograph focuses on a kiosk situated on the temple's roof, a unique architectural feature that played a significant role in the sacred ceremony of Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and fertility. The kiosk, adorned with four Hathoric columns on each side, was the setting for the ritual of the goddess' union with the sun disk. The columns, sculpted with intricate carvings of Hathor's head, were topped with lotus bud capitals, a symbol of rebirth and renewal. The ritual itself was believed to have taken place during the evening hours when the sun was setting. The priestesses would perform the ceremony, accompanied by the sound of musical instruments such as the sistrum, a percussion instrument shaped like a rattle. The sistrum was believed to mimic the sound of Hathor's own voice, invoking her presence. The roof terrace of the temple, where the kiosk stood, offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, allowing the priestesses to connect with the natural world during the ritual. The union of Hathor and the sun disk symbolized the triumph of light over darkness and the promise of a new day. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt, transporting us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring rituals and beliefs that shaped the lives of its people.
