| Abstract | ||
| This article deals with the publication of a Naos from the temple of Dendera, this Naos dating back to the Ptolemaic King Ptolemy II (Philadelphos) according to the texts and cartouches inscribed on it. It is a medium-sized Naos, it was carved from Greywacke stone. This Naos contains religious symbols belonging to the god Horus and the ruling king, such as the double winged sun-disk, and the symbol of Horus with the double crown inside the Serekh (the facade of the royal palace), in addition to the titles of King Ptolemy II and it was devoid of any detailed religious scenes. This study dealt with the general description of the Naos, its dating, translation and analysis of the texts engraved on it. | ||
