The Temple of Dendur is part of the action in Chapter 1 of Food Truck Killer. It currently resides in NYC’s Metropolitan Museum, but its origin dates back to 23 BCE, having been commissioned by Emperor Augustus and erected in Nubia.
As early as 10 BCE, the Temple inspired visitors to carve graffiti into its sandstone blocks. David Keaton points out the graffiti to his next victim, Kim, while acting as her docent on a museum tour.
On a recent visit, I was inspired to take a photo of one of the thoughtless carvings on this lovely monument.
