Hathor was also called Gator, which meant the highest house (mountain), that is, Heaven. The temple was built of sandstone and surrounded by a brick wall. In the middle there is the largest hypostyle hall, it has more than 20 columns with images of Gator. Astronomical scenes are shown on the ceiling, and a couple of Osiris shrines are located on the roof. Osiris is the god of rebirth and the other world who was called Duat. In one of his sanctuaries, a solar disk (Aten) and a zodiac were found.

The round Dendera zodiac is a bas-relief from the ceiling of the sanctuary of Osiris. On it you can see the images of two signs, Taurus and Libra. Overall, the zodiac of Osiris is the only detailed depiction of the ancient sky. It was he who served as the basis on which modern astronomical systems were later developed.
