The Temple of Dendur
The Metropolitan museum in New York is a treasure trove of amazing things from around the world. I think it would take half a lifetime to really examine every object. You have to be disciplined and choose the areas that are the most important to you. For me it was seeing paintings by Vermeer and Duccio . The objects in the museum go from tiny objects from the middle ages to some large exhibits . The The Temple of Dendur must be the largest piece and I could not visit the Met without a look at this amazing Egyptian temple
The Temple of Dendur is a Roman Egyptian religious structure originally located in Tuzis Nubia about 50 miles south of modern Aswan. Around 23 BCE, Emperor Augustus commissioned the temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis and deified brothers Pedesi and Pihor from Nubia.
In 1963, as part of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, UNESCO helped rescue and relocate the temple from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam. Egypt gave the temple to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which has exhibited it since 1978.
