Egypt is known for some of the best historical temples. The temple of Hathor is one of them, located at Dendera, and mostly known as Temple of Hathor in Dendera. It is based at 40 miles away from Luxor located on the west coast of Nile crossing the town of Qena. The temple was constructed in Greco-Roman architectural style and it was built during the dynasty of Greek Ptolemic. Later the temple was extended by Roman Emperors.

How it was discovered Originally the temple was discovered as buried in the sand. Originally, the temple was constructed with metal brick ties, and astonishingly, the construction is found same as some of the old ancient temples of other parts of the world. However, this is the reason the temple of Dendera is considered as one if the oldest temples of Egypt. The construction metal is soft, which was surprisingly flexible to withstand the severe movement between the brick-blocks.
