Edfu Temple

Posted by Picasa
The journey to the ancient Eqypt began with us arriving at Edfu temple with a contingent of horse drawn carriages. Edfu is the one of the best preserved major temples in Eqypt. The temple is dedicated to the falcon god Horus and was built over 180-year period from 237 BC to 57 BC. Its courtyard and surrounding were buried beneath sand and houses built by local villagers and was only discovered last century.
Our tour guide Mr.Wael told us with a straight face that he was convinced that this pyhlon were built by aliens . The Hollywood movie "Star Gates" described the story in details.
