	Dendera and the Temple of Hathor
		Dendera is located about 60 kilometers north of Luxor on the west bank of the Nile River opposite the provincial modern town of Qena.
		Early texts refer to a temple at Dendera which was rebuilt during the Old Kingdom, and several New Kingdom monarchs, including Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III and Ramesses II and III are known to have embellished the structure.
		Dendera was considered one of Osiris' many tombs, and the shrines, which have no link with Hathor, were used to celebrate his death and resurrection.

	Hathor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some egyptologists associate Hathor with artificial light as evidenced by what has been purported to be a representation of an electric lamp in a temple dedicated to her worship (see Hathor temple).
		In this form, Hathor's cult became centred in Dendera and was led by priests who were also dancers, singers, and other entertainers.
		Hathor's temple at Dendera contains an image, that has come to be known as the Dendera Light, which some have controversially claimed may be a depiction of an electric lamp.

		The second great festival at Dendera took place on the ancient New Year's Day, when the image of Hathor, which was believed gradually to have lost efficacy in the darkened sanctuary in the course of the year, would be taken to the top of the temple to be reimbued with power from the rising sun.
		The surviving Birth House at Dendera was reconstructed by the Emperor Augustus near the ruins of the one built by Nectanebo, and is adorned with reliefs added by the Emperor Trajan.
		The Birth House of Augustus at Dendera was converted into a church in the fifth century, and a Christian basilica was built in the area between it and the original Birth House of Nectanebo.

		The only difference between grooves in the light materials and the depressions in the dark lineated materials is the somewhat less regular edges of the depressions within the latter, perhaps reflecting the rougher surface of the dark unit relative to the light ones.
		LIGHT MATERIALS The light materials in the east half of the map area form several bands 100 to 200 km wide that cross the dark terrain in a dominantly west-northwest direction, though other minor trends are present.
		Most of the light terrain is grooved material (unit g); the grooves are curvilinear and have smooth edges and a range of sizes.

		During this era the light was polarized between the two brain hemispheres of in such a way that the left brain was favored.
		This pulsewise emanation of light creates a wave movement that we are all part of, and which invariably includes troughs meant for integration.
		These balls of light may then serve to activate and lit up whatever dark corners there might be in the mind of an individual.

	Leo the lion
		The Dendera zodiac, or planisphere is a large sandstone medallion that shows many ancient constellations and asterisms.

	MetaHistory - When the Mysteries Died
		I think it is equally likely, however, that the Coptic codices came from Dendera, or they may have arrived among the monks through some association with diehards of the cult of Hathor and Horus celebrated there.
		Dendera was known for its sacred Zodiac, one of the most spectacular artifacts of ancient wisdom to survive intact.
		Dendera and other Ptolemaic temples such as the one at Edfu are inscribed with hieroglyphics in an astounding density, as if the last priests who could read and write the arcane texts were intent on getting down everything they could for posterity.

	The Real Skeptic
		Light therefore was a nonexistent phenomenon that resulted from a disturbance of the aether.
		Because it had already been determined that light was a wave phenomenon and therefore nonexistent in and of itself, it couldn't possibly have any relationship to electricity which was clearly something, you could put your hand on it and feel it, and therefore needed a particle to explain its existence.
		Totally puzzled at how light, a wave phenomenon, could evidence itself as a particle, empirical science, never one to abandon an empirically verified law, decided that light was both, a wave phenomenon and a particle.

	From Lascaux To Dendera - Richard Denner
		The fourth conjecture is the language of sexuality, where the paintings are interpreted in the context of a fertility cult, the bison with a female valence, the horses with a male valence.
		In The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light, William Irwin Thompson couples Leroi-Gourhan's idea with the idea of Alexander Marshack, that the animal figures are expressions of time-factoring patterns, to suggest the possibility of a complex cosmology in which the animals are the early forms of the zodiac.
		The axis of the temple at Dendera is indicated by the figure of a hawk-like bird on a staff, which precedes a man with a baton and follows a cow with a star between her horns.

	Sacred Legacy of Ancient Egypt by Kerry Wisner
		Suddenly a light flares up as the priest intones the ancient words, while igniting the flame of an oil lamp on the altar situated at the northern end of the room: "Come, come in peace, O glorious Eye of Heru, Be strong and renew Your youth in peace.
		For on this one day the statues were taken from their shrines and placed where they could bathe in the light of these sacred manifestations of the feminine and masculine forces of life: Sirius, the stellar goddess, and the Sun, the living image of the god.
		Rejuvenated by the combined light of Sun and star the statues were returned to their shrines and the procession began its journey down into the temple via the opposite staircase representing the westerly journey of these celestial bodies (Meeks 1996.197).

	Dendera: Dark interior
		Lighting is limited, the walls are high, but there is a lot to enjoy.
		The interior of the temple is really dark, it appears that the authorities aim at creating about as much light as there must have been here in ancient times.
		The Hall of Appearances, the first part of the dark area, was the place where Hathor consorted with fellow deities before she departed on her yearly voyage to Edfu.

	Atlantis Rising No. 54 Jupiter in Scorpio
		Jupiter was considered to be a god of Light, and therefore wisdom, and Jupiter is said to deal with the realm of superconsciousness and therefore is a widener of horizons.
		Being confined to the focused, dark and intense energy embodied in Scorpio, or by association the unseen realms of the underworld, is not his natural habitat or forte.
		If we're paying attention this archetypal combination can bring heaven's light into a realm which is ordinarily cloaked in darkness and secrecy, like shining a flood light into a cave, or parting the so-called veil which conceals the deeper aspects of reality.

	Leo the Lion
		One of the earliest representations of this group of stars as a lion is the Dendera planisphere, a large sandstone medallion on the ceiling of the temple of Isis.
		From about 2000 BC to the time of the Dendera planisphere, the Sun occupied the region of Leo during the oppressive summer months.
		According to Greek and Roman myth, the lion is said to represent the horrible Nemean Lion that Hercules was challenged to kill.

		Dark and light rayed craters (unit c3) are the freshest.
		Combinations include dark rays and dark ejecta (Antum, Mir), dark rays and light ejecta (northeast of Ombos), and rays and ejecta that are light on one side of a crater and dark on the other (Tammuz).
		The striking light- and dark-rayed crater Tammuz straddles a boundary between light and dark terrains; its dark rays emanate from the part of the crater on dark terrain and its light rays from the part on light terrain.

	Dendera Temple
		This temple, in its present form, was built during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, with relief work on the rear external wall depicting Cleopatra VII and her son Caesarion.
		The finest examples of crypts are to be seen at the Dendera Temple dedicated to Hathor, where there is a total of three crypts, one each in the east, the south and the west outer edges of the main temple building.
		It has been learned from inscriptions that when statues were removed from the crypts they were first taken into cult rooms for preparation and afterwards taken to the roof where the rays of the sun would bathe the statue in its light and warmth, thus bringing the statue back to life.

	Electricity
		Energy is radiated as light when powerful electric currents flow through the Earth's atmosphere.
		The particles themselves often move quite slowly, while the electric field that drives them propagates at close to the speed of light.
		Every consumer uses appliances that convert the electrical energy to other forms of energy, such as heat (in electric arc furnaces and electric heaters), light (in light bulbs and fluorescent lamps), or motion, i.e.

	The Ancient Egyptian Calendar Part 2 by Kerry Wisner
		On this day the revitalizing light of the star Sirius and the Sun were united with the earthly image of the Neteru/Gods of each temple (3).
		On this one day the statues were taken from their shrines and placed where they could bathe in the light of these sacred manifestations of the feminine and masculine forces of life; Sirius, the stellar Goddess and the Sun, the living image of the God Ra.
		Rejuvenated by the combined light of Sun and star, the statues were returned to their shrines and the procession began its journey down into the temple via the opposite staircase representing the westerly journey of these celestial bodies (7).

		On the twentieth the wind was light but favourable, and part of the time the men were on shore towing with the cords.
		But it was a moon that lighted up all nature with a paler, purer, and more lovely light; a moon that would have told secrets; a moon-in short-, a moon whose light enabled one to walk over fields without stumbling, and this was, at the moment, the principal consideration with me.

	Electric lights
		In none of the many thousands of subterranean tombs and pyramid shafts was found a single trace of soot, as we are told by the authors of the electro-thesis, although many of these tombs are full of often colourful paintings.
		But the primitive light sources the Egyptians knew (candles, oil lamps etc.) are always leaving soot and are using oxygen.
		In this temple in Dendera, several dozens of kilometers north of Luxor, some experts found the light.

	The Denderah "Lightbulb"
		Beneath the Temple of Hathor at Dendera there are inscriptions depicting a bulb-like object which some have suggested is reminiscent of a "Crookes tube" (an early lightbulb).
		In a light bulb, the glass bulb itself insulates the filament, and no extra component is required.
		Instead of claiming that the Egyptians used light bulbs under normal conditions, they suggest that the priests performed a ritual which created a small amount of light during the New Year celebrations.
