The Egyptian Egyptologists Publications of Dendera Temple Texts

Ayman Wahby Taher

The Temple of Dendera is considered one of the most preserved

temples of Ancient Egypt, it is full of important inscriptions explaining
the majority of temple rituals and ceremonies, although due to the
importance of the temple, lots of its inscriptions are still obscure due to
lack of studies especially from the Egyptian Egyptologist, I present this
paper to shed light on the activities of the Egyptian scholars in publishing
and studying the temple texts, much of their work still unknown for the
foreign scholars because it is written in Arabic, so I present this paper in
English to clarify the work to the future students in the field of Greco–
Roman texts publication.

Most of the studies included in my paper are very important and full
of documented information about the development of Egyptian religion
and ritual during that period.

The aim of my study is to encourage the universities and SCA to set

up a project for database by the Egyptian scholars in Arabic and English
from their studies of Dendera Temple texts.
