This monumental gateway is a fragmentary remnant that still proudly stands, its upper portion adorned with a relief depicting the radiant form of Hathor, the embodiment of joy, music, love, and motherhood in ancient Egyptian mythology. As one of Egypt's most revered deities, Hathor's influence extended throughout the land's storied past, earning her a special place among the pantheon of gods. Interestingly, the Greeks often drew parallels between Hathor and their own Aphrodite, reflecting the shared values of love and beauty that defined both goddesses. The gateway itself was unearthed in Amathous, a city steeped in history and culture.
