Kalabsha & Beit el-Wali

I'm following two things through the valley tour - bread (mainly bread) and Hathor, a cow goddess associated with love, sex, fertility, drunkenness, and about twelve hundred other things.

Here is a nice little Hathor shrine - see her head on the tops of the columns? You might not be able to tell, but she has cow ears...


A good example of an offering scene featuring bread. This is from the Greco-Roman period, so the bread has lots of contour lines, and is in the shape of circles, ovals, and those strange pillowy-things between the circles
