Dendera is an impressive and fascinating site, most intriguing however are the stairs leading to the temple roof. They appear to be melted. Made from solid stone it is hard to imagine what could have melted them.
The walls and reliefs seem to be intact, although they could have been re-surfaced by the ancient Egyptians.
It would take a tremendous amount of heat to melt stone steps such as these. What could have done this? There has been speculation of ancient nuclear wars. Looking at an image such as this it is not difficult to believe that there could be some truth to those theories.
