[Please paste your work in here .... it should look like this] =Hathor= Hathor is one of the oldest known deities of Egypt and is one of the most beloved goddess. She was well known as the goddess of love, fertility, beauty, music, and mirth. Hathor provided spiritual nourishment to the souls of the dead meaning she provided comfort and peace to the spirit of the dead. Hathor was represented as the 'Great Wild Cow'. She was represented as a cow or with cow horns. She was considered to be the eye of the sun meaning she was part of a sacred legacy of Ancient Egypt which had teachings and was written as a practical guide to the religious and magical teachings of Ancient Egypt, this book presents in depth information drawn from ancient temple inscriptions and papyrus texts. It also had many detailed descriptions of more than fifty Egyptian gods and goddesses including Hathor. She was mainly worshiped in Heliopolis because she was a citizen there and had a main temple in Dendera (upper Egypt). Hathor is married to Horas and so now the king Horas is classified as the son of Hathor. This means that the king is now called the son not husband. Hathor is found on the Narmer Pallette.The Narmer Pallete is a shield-shape pallete made out of a rock called schist. It is elaborately carved on both sides with images and words.
