  • Dendera: The House of Hathor with José M. Barrera

    Dendera: The House of Hathor with José M. Barrera
    Jan 10 2025
    Hathor is one of the greatest, most enduring, and most celebrated of ancient Egyptian deities. A patron of motherhood, physical pleasures, music, and joy, the great “lady of the southern sycamore” could nourish, protect, and even destroy. Across three millennia of pharaonic history (and beyond), Hathor enjoyed unrivalled prestige as an avatar of feminine power. Her temple at Dendera is one of the best in Egypt. Constructed in the late 1st Millennium BCE (but with roots stretching back to the Old Kingdom), Hathor’s house preserves amazing art, hieroglyphs, and secrets. It is a temple that today’s guest, José M. Barrera, devoted a great deal of energy to documenting. The result is a wonderful study of Hathor’s celestial realm… See José's amazing photography of Dendera's ceiling and learn more about his book Dendera: The Temple of Time (2024) at his website: https://josemariabarrera.com/dendera/ See the video version of this interview at https://youtu.be/7xjUzTcRMH0 Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.

Love it, truly interesting

Truly interesting, and a lot of complex information, names, dates, and culture explained by an expert in a very approachable way. I was listening on another site, and when getting audible I checked this podcast was here because otherwise I would have had to keep my other subscription to keep listening to this podcast! Highly recommend
