Column in Hathor Temple at Dendera.' The shafts of the columns in the outer hypostyle hall (or pronaos) of the Hathor Temple at Dendera are covered with intricate decorations. One of the more conspicuous figures is Heh, the god of eternity, depicted in a crouching position. He is holding a (leafless) palm stem in each hand, which symbolized long life to the Egyptians, the years being represented by the notches on the stem. The winged lion-headed serpents are personifications of the cobra goddess Wadjet. Sadly, a row of Hathor heads has been defaced. This part of the Dendera Temple was built during the Roman period (first century AD). Photo Mick Palarczyk.

Pyramid Complex of Khafre (Khefren)
Khafre (c.2558–2532 BC), whom the ancient Greeks knew as Khefren, was a son of King Khufu (Cheops), the builder of the Great Pyramid. He built the second pyramid complex at Giza, and constructed his tomb on slightly higher ground, making it appear just as tall as his father’s.
At 143.5 meters in height, however, his pyramid is only slightly shorter, and a tremendously impressive monument. Its core masonry is made of blocks of local limestone.
The top of the pyramid still preserves the beautifully polished blocks of high-quality limestone that once encased the majority of the structure’s towering height.
This white stone was quarried in Tura, south of Maadi, and transported here by ship.

The mortuary temple of Khafre at the foot of his pyramid and the valley temple at the end of the causeway are larger than any of those of older pyramids, and also among the best preserved of the Old Kingdom.
Another development in the reign of Khafre is the complexity of their layout, with the elements constituting his mortuary temple becoming the new standard that its later Old Kingdom counterparts would follow. A unique feature of Khafre’s complex is the inclusion of a colossal statue beside his valley temple—the Great Sphinx.
The valley temple is made of massive limestone blocks encased in granite, floors made of alabaster, and its wide hall features monolithic granite pillars.
The symmetrically arranged niches along the walls of the hall once accommodated statues of the king, some of which are currently on display in the Egyptian Museum.
One of these, the famous granodiorite statue of Khafre with Horus as a falcon perched behind his head, is widely considered one of the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art.

While the exact number of sandals is unclear, at least 80 samples were discovered in the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun, included in order to accompany him into the afterlife.
