Metropolitan Museum of Art – Temple of Dendur

Going to the MET is awesome. I mean, you can get lost in so many nooks and ancient crannies there – wait, that sounds kind of wrong…Point is, you can spend forever in there…I am sucker for the Temple of Dendur. It reminds me of ‘When Harry Met Sally’; for me, one of Nora Ephron’s best films. When Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are talking about ‘poppy cosh and pepper’ it’s so funny…and sad. She was so adorable; why did she have to do all of that weird stuff to her face? I wonder what Egyptians used…Here is more about le Temple http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/egyptian_art/the_temple_of_dendur/objectview.aspx?collID=10&OID=100004628 It’s truly spectacular to see this ancient Egyptian monument encased in a massive solarium. The above shots are close-ups but if you’ve never see it… Check. It. Out.
