The ceiling of the Dendera Temple has recently been cleaned, in a careful way that removed hundreds of years of black soot, without harming the ancient paint underneath. As a result the spectacular ceiling painting has been exposed in Hathor temple, and some of the most vibrant and colorful paintings dating from antiquity are now visible.
The sculptured Dendera zodiac is a widely known relief found in a late Greco-Roman temple, containing images of Taurus and the Libra. It was removed from the temple ceiling in 1820 and is now in the Louvre Museum.
