The Tentyrite temples of Hathor and Isis preserve in stone hymns, sometimes stylistically reworked in the Greco-Roman period, engraved in an original way on the door frames. From the heart of the temple to the doors of the pronaos, they accompany the steps of the priests during the festive processions. The sound of the sistrums give rhythm to the prayers, the fragrances of the perfumes mingle with floral odors, the selected drinks and dishes exhale their savors in a ballet of colored fabrics and shimmering ornaments-everything contributes to arouse the extraordinary fascination exerted by the divinity. Sky, horizon, sun, light, gold, perfume, sistrum, these words came to life and celebrated the incomparable beauty of Hathor, the daughter of Re: the temple is thus a visual and acoustic library and archive.
Les temples tentyrites d’Hathor et d’Isis conservent dans la pierre des hymnes millenaires, parfois stylistiquement remanies a l’epoque greco-romaine. Graves de maniere originale sur l’encadrement des portes, ils permettent en outre d’apprehender les dieux selon une ligne de pensee homogene. Depuis le coeur du temple jusqu’aux portes du pronaos, ils accompagnent les pas des pretres durant les processions feriales. Le son des sistres rythmant les prieres, les fragrances des parfums se melant aux odeurs florales, les breuvages et mets choisis exhalant leurs saveurs dans un ballet d’etoffes colorees et de parures chatoyantes, tout contribue a susciter l’extraordinaire fascination exercee par la divinite. Ciel, horizon, soleil, lumiere, or, parfum, sistre, ces mots incessamment marteles s’animaient et celebraient la beaute incomparable d’Hathor, la fille de Re; le temple est ainsi une bibliotheque parietale et sonore utilisant des archives nationales millenaires.
