Relief block with the names and titles of Amenemhat I and Senwosret I ca. 1962-1952 B.C. Middle Kingdom This is one of several relief blocks discovered in the foundations of the funerary temple of Amenemhat I at Lisht. Like this one, most bear his name, sometimes with that of his son and coregent, Senwosret I. Because of thier protected location many of the blocks are complete, and the colors are still fresh; several sculptural styles are represented. The site and buildings from which the blocks were taken have not been identified, but possibly they all derive from an earlier funerary temple at Lisht. It is not known when the funerary temple of Amenemhat I was built. He may have begun it himself near the end of his reign, for the temple foundation deposits confirm an early Dynasty 12 date.Prominent on this block are the Horus name of Amenemhat I to the right (Horus Wekhemmesut) and his birth name, Amenemhat, in a cartouche (an oval ring representing infinity and eternity) on the left.S

The Dendera Temple complex, which contains the Temple of Hathor, in Upper Egypt. The present building dates back to the times of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Hathor Temple has a relief sometimes known as the Dendera light because of a controversial thesis about its nature. The Dendera light images comprise stone reliefs. The view of Egyptologists is that these depict a Djed pillar and a lotus flower, spawning a snake within. In contrast to this interpretation, there is a fringe science suggestion that it is actually a representation of an Ancient Egyptian light bulb.
