THE TEMPLE OF HAThOR.
One of the Ancient Buildings Of Egypt

One of the Ancient Buildings cf Egypt Ant!
Very Well Preserved.
We steamed two hours one morning
on the Nile and after an early breakfast
rode On donkeys about three miles to
the famous temple of Hathor, the Egyp-
tan Aphrodite, at Denderah. This tenn
pie was built just before the Christian
era by one Of the Ptolemies, and the porch
was added by Tiberius Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, it is
essentially Egyptian in architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first of
the great temples that we had seen we
were very much impressed 1t stands on
the borders of the desert and the YER
dant plain, surrounded by the ruins of
al old town, the debris of which, to-
gether with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above its foundations. The
temple is very well preserved Its porch,
the latest part, is noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces Of Hati,or on four
sides. Every foot Of the surface, outside
and in, is covered with sculpture, which,
though Of the period Of decadence, is
still striking because of the amount of
it.
The MIN temple behind the porch
consists of four central chambers and
some 20 others, each Of which had it's
use. The faces On nearly all the figures
have been mutilated by iconoclastic Mo
hainmedans OF Christians. On the ex-
terror Of the wall i'll the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
Caasarion, whose father was Julius
Caesar. This representation Of the fa-
nous Egyptian queen, though contempo-
raneous, scarcely justifes the tradition
Of her beauty. Near by is small tenn
pie of Isis, and another which seems to
have had some connection with the tenn
pie of Hathor. The town of Tentyris
stood here. The Tentyrites hated the
crocodiles which the people Of neighbor-
ing C1nbos yTorshiped, and religious
war Of great fury was carried on be-
tween the two places. If there must be
religious wars, they may as Well be over
