Abstract:
Publication of the astronomical ceiling from the temple of Deir el-Haggar, and an interpretation of its contents. New parts of this ceiling were rediscovered in 1992–3 and a complete reconstruction is presented. On the basis of parallels, the ceiling's decoration can be dated to the second century AD. Notable aspects are the importance of the opposition of sun and moon, and the occurrence of a local version of the twelve gods of the lunar months.
