Hall of the Consecrations (Statue of Falcon), the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Nile River, Egypt.

Marvel at the perfectly carved walls of Egypt's most preserved temple at Edfu.

 

The temple of Edfu is the largest temple dedicated to Horus and Hathor of Dendera. It was the center of several festivals sacred to Horus. Each year, "Hathor travelled south from her temple at Denderah to visit Horus at Edfu, and this event marking their sacred marriage was the occasion of a great festival and pilgrimage."
