Temple of Dendur, Egyptian temple from Nubia at Metropolitan Museum of Art, United States.
The Temple of Dendur contains three connected chambers with sandstone walls displaying carved reliefs of Egyptian deities and Roman Emperor Augustus.
The structure, completed in 10 BCE under Emperor Augustus, was dismantled in 1962 due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The temple walls present offerings to the goddess Isis and two local Nubian brothers, Pedesi and Pihor, who received divine status.
The temple occupies Gallery 131 in the Sackler Wing, where controlled temperature and humidity systems maintain preservation conditions similar to Egypt.
Nineteenth-century visitors carved graffiti into the temple walls before its relocation, documenting historical interactions with the ancient structure.
