Egypt | Luxor | Temple of Edfu

🏯The Temple of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile, is the best-preserved temple in Egypt, where the sky god Horus, with the head of an eagle and the body of a human, is worshipped. It is also the second largest temple in Egypt, second only to the Karnak Temple. 🗿There are a large number of stone carvings and paintings in the Temple of Edfu, depicting many legends and histories of ancient Egypt, with the protagonist being Horus and his wife Hathor. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the gods lived in Heliopolis, which was the "Sun City" in ancient Egyptian history, and Hathor's father was the sun god Ra, also the head of the nine pillars of ancient Egyptian gods.
