The Temple of Horus at Edfu
This temple is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt. There are "important scenes and inscriptions of the Sacred Drama which related the age-old conflict between Horus and Seth”. The unfortunate part is that following Theodosius I's edict banning non-Christian worship within the Roman Empire in 391 AD many of the temple's carvings were defaced by Christians who came to dominate Egypt. #temple #ancientegypt #egypt #aswan #horus #edfu #travel #wanderlust #curioushumanics #history #views
