In the Sanctuary , we can see a replica of the original bark of Horus , where his statue was transported in procession to visit his wife Hathor in Dendera .
Beside the bark , there is a granite naos which was used to keep the statue . The naos is older than the temple itself as it was ordered by Nectanebo I of the Thirty Dynasty .
At the entrance of the sanctuary , we can still see holes that were used to hold the wooden doors that closed the naos .
Around the sanctuary , there are ten small chapels that contain texts of hymns to Horus .
