The Temple of Dendur is an ancient Egyptian temple built around 15 B.C. during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It was originally located in Nubia, near the Nile River, and was dedicated to the goddess Isis and the deified King Augustus. The temple features beautiful carvings and inscriptions that reflect the art and culture of ancient Egypt. In the 1960s, the temple was relocated to the United States to save it from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Today, it is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where visitors can admire its architecture and learn about its historical significance.
