The first mammisi or birth house, in Dendera, dates back to the 30th dynasty Pharaoh Nectanebo I (379/378–361/360 BCE), one of the last native rulers of Egypt. It was dedicated to Harsiese ("Horus son of Isis"). The birth house is associated with the nativity of a god. Larger structures behind the short columns are the remains of a Christian coptic church, about 5th c. CE
