Edfu Temple

Built from 237 – 57 BCE

The Temple of Edfu was buried under centuries of sand and silt until the nineteenth century, when French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette rediscovered the site. The complex is one of the most well-preserved sites in Egypt today; its architecture is very much intact, and the building contains a wealth of legible inscriptions on its walls. It is dedicated to the falcon god, Horus.

The Temple of Edfu is an Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. The city was known in the Hellenistic period in Koinē Greek: Ἀπόλλωνος πόλις and in Latin as Apollonopolis Magna, after the chief god Horus, who was identified as Apollo under the interpretatio graec

I am back from the holibobs, utterly exhausted and procrastinating the unending job that is editing all my photos (just by deleting the out-of-focus-in-hindsight ones I've gotten them down from 1200 to 750) So here's my absolute favourite ones. I promise I'll be back to crafting content soon.

Temple of Edfu. Dedicated to the falcon god Horus ,it is the best-preserved temple in Egypt and the most important after the Temple of Karnak. It measures 137 meters long by 79 meters wide and 36 meters high. It represents the typical construction of the temples with the pylon. The temple of Edfu, located in the city of the same name (Edfu) is situated on the west bank of the Nile, 115 km south of Luxor and 105 km north of Aswan. The temple of Edfu maintains the classical structure of the Greco-Roman period, beginning with the pylon, followed by a courtyard and the building of the pronaos or hypostyle room. Next was the naos of the sanctuary, which led to the Sanctum sanctorum of the temple, where the statue of the temple deity Horus in this case, was located. In 1798, during Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt, the temple was buried some twelve meters below the desert sand. It did not see the light of day again until 1860.
