Dandera
Dendera complex is known for the Ptolemaic Temple of Hathor.

Dendera temple in egypt dates back to the first century BC and was continuously developed throughout the Ptolemaic and Roman eras.

Featuring references to Egyptian rulers as well as Roman Emperors such as Nero, Domitian, and Trajan.

Even by Ancient Egyptian standards, the Temple of Hathor was constructed relatively late.

Dendera complex dates back also, with its current temple having been constructed on top of remains from older structures.
Abedous
Abydos was one of the oldest and most significant sites of ancient Egypt, dating back as far as 3300 BCE.

Upper Egypt's sacred city stands on the west bank of the Nile and overlooks a desert valley once believed to provide access to the empire of death.

Egypt's first Pharaohs were interred here as royal burial grounds, and later on, it served as a centre of worship for Osiris's underworld cult.

Abydos stands as one of the essential sites in Egypt to our current understanding of state formation, linguistic development and architecture in Ancient Egypt.

With its valuable inscriptions and multiple funerary monuments, Abydos may have provided us with more insights than any other site into Ancient Egyptian statehood, language change and architecture than any other location.
