From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dendera light is a three stone relief located (one single and a double representation) in the Hathor temple at the Dendera Temple complex in Egypt. The images are interpreted by traditional Egyptologists as depicting lotus flowers spawning a snake, representing aspects of Egyptian mythology. Controversy arose when the main object in the images was interpreted by some as an electric lamp based on comparison to modern devices. Engineers have constructed a working model based on the reliefs and some authors (such as Peter Krassa and Reinhard Habeck) have produced a basic theory of the device's operation.
