[Egypt ★ Aswan] Edfu Temple
Introducing the Edfu Temple in Aswan, Egypt.
It is on the way from Aswan to Luxor.
I recommend joining a tour.
It is dedicated to the falcon god Horus and was built during the Plethomaid dynasty from 237 to 57 BC. In 391 AD, the Roman Empire banned non-Christian worship and the temple was no longer used for religious ceremonies. The temple was later buried by desert sand and Nile sediments, but in 1798, part of the temple was discovered, and excavation work began in 1860.
The Edfu Temple is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. You can see the scenery that has not changed since ancient times, such as the sanctuary surrounded by walls with detailed murals, the wall reliefs, and the courtyard surrounded by large columns. The first pillar at the entrance is a statue of the god Horus, the symbol of the temple.
