Edfu - Temple of Horus

Entrance of the Temple of Horus - the falcon god
You can see the people at the front of the temple here, the entrance to this place was huge. The indents and holes in the wall used to hold huge cedar flag poles. The walls are angled hence the need for the indentation at the base of the wall so that the flag poles would stand up straight
Replica solar boat in the holiest portion of the temple. Only high priests and pharoahs were allowed in here.
