'''[[Hathor]]''' (Ancient Egyptian: ''ḥwt-ḥr'') was a major goddess in ancient [[Egyptian religion]] who played a wide variety of roles. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god [[Horus]] and the sun god [[Ra]], both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly representatives, the pharaohs.  
'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].


More temples were dedicated to Hathor than to any other Egyptian goddess. During the Old Kingdom her most important center of worship was in the region of Memphis, where "Hathor of the Sycamore" was worshipped at many sites throughout the Memphite Necropolis. During the New Kingdom era, the temple of Hathor of the Southern Sycamore was her main temple in Memphis. At that site she was described as the daughter of the city's main deity, [[Ptah]].
