Discover your World! This famous circular sandstone bas-relief is a planisphere depicting the constellations in graphic form. It was added to the ceiling of a chapel dedicated to Osiris inside the Hathor Temple in the Dendera Temple complex in Upper Egypt, sometime after 51 B.C., during the Greco-Roman Period. In the early nineteenth century, it was blasted out of the temple’s ceiling by an antiquities collector and shipped to France after being discovered during Napoleon’s Egypt expedition. It currently resides at the Louvre. The exact use or purpose of this unique depiction of celestial bodies is not clear, but many historians suspect that the 51 B.C. death of Ptolemy Auletes, and subsequent rise to power the following year of his daughter, Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Egypt, are directly related to its creation.
