Wikipedia's article on the Dendera Temple complex is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard, uncontested facts about the temple's history, layout and dedication to Hathor, and less reliable for evaluating specialist archaeological or epigraphic argument about the site. Use it for basic identification; a claim needing deeper Egyptological grounding needs a dedicated scholarly source.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierWikipedia's article on the Dendera Temple complex, the Ptolemaic and Roman era Egyptian temple dedicated to Hathor, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for standard facts about the site's layout and history rather than a substitute for a dedicated Egyptological study. NotesCrowd-sourced tertiary reference. Used here only for the plain, checkable facts that Hathor's cult image traveled by river from Dendera to Edfu each year for the Feast of the Beautiful Meeting with Horus, and that the Dendera complex is among Egypt's best-preserved Ptolemaic-era temple sites. 1 Citation
