[EGYPT 29533] 'Zodiac sign Pisces at Dendera.' A fish on either side of a pond makes up the zodiac sign Pisces on the astronomical ceiling in the outer hypostyle hall of the Hathor Temple at Dendera. The ceiling consists of seven separate strips but here we are looking at a detail of the upper register of the EASTERNMOST STRIP. There are six zodiac signs depicted in the entire easternmost strip and the other six can be found on the westernmost ceiling strip of the hall. These signs are of Babylonic-Greek origin and are not found in Egypt before it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BC. The standing women to the left and the right of the fish are the goddesses of the 5th and 4th hour of the night. The disk with a god holding a small pig by a hind foot is interpreted by some scholars as the sun being eclipsed, but this can't be proven. The falcon-headed god on the right is the planet Mars (called 'Horus-the-Red). Other Egyptian astronomical texts mention that the god "travels backwards', which is undoubtedly an allusion to the retrograde movement of Mars. Of course other planets display this movement also, but maybe the Egyptians found it particularly striking in Mars. For an overview of this ceiling strip see picture 29526. This part of the Dendera Temple was built during the Roman period (first century AD). Photo Mick Palarczyk.

[EGYPT 29528] 'Birth of the sun in Hathor Temple at Dendera.' The rising sun is born from the lap of sky goddess Nut on the astronomical ceiling in the outer hypostyle hall of the Hathor Temple at Dendera. The ceiling consists of seven separate strips but here we are looking at a detail of the EASTERNMOST STRIP. The entire strip is enveloped by the outstretched body of the sky goddess Nut and her feet are visible in the right lower corner of this picture. The wave pattern on Nut's dress symbolizes the cosmic river on which the sun traveled during the night. The rays of the rising sun touch the head of the goddess Hathor which is located on top of a simplified image of a temple. The scene portrays the first day of the Egyptian New Year on which a statue of Hathor, brought from a crypt in the temple and placed on its roof, was rejuvenated by the first rays of the New Year sun. A similar scene can be found on the ceiling of the Wabet (see picture 29610). To the right of the sun rays we see Cancer, one of the six zodiac signs that are represented in this ceiling strip. These signs are of Babylonic-Greek origin and are not found in Egypt before it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BC. To the left of the sun we see (upside down) a small boat carrying a lotus flower from which emerges a snake. The snake is a symbol for the rising sun on the first day of the New Year, the lotus flower being the first object that appeared on the primordial sea on the first day of the world creation. It is similar to the famous image of the sun-snake in a cosmos-bulb which is found in the southern crypt of the temple (see pictures 29604-607). For an overview of this ceiling strip see picture 29526. This part of the Dendera Temple was built during the Roman period (first century AD). Photo Mick Palarczyk.

[EGYPT 29574] 'West wind on astronomical ceiling at Dendera.' Holding a little sail in his hand, a double winged creature with two snake heads personifies the west wind on the astronomical ceiling in the outer hypostyle hall of the Hathor Temple at Dendera. Wind figures such as these only appear in Egyptian monuments of the Greek-Roman period. The astronomical ceiling consists of seven separate strips but here we are looking at a detail of the upper register of the SECOND STRIP WEST from centre. The enthroned god wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt is Atum, personification of the evening sun. An overview of the southern end of this ceiling strip can be found in picture 29572. For an overview of the entire astronomical ceiling see picture 29525. This part of the Dendera Temple was built during the Roman period (first century AD). Photo Paul Smit.
