Description:
Dedicated to
Horus, the falcon headed
god, construction of the
Temple of Horus was
begun in 237 BC by
Ptolemy III Euergetes I and
was finished in 57 BC.
This is not only the best
preserved ancient temple in
Egypt, but the second largest
after
Karnak. This picture
submitted by Tour Egypt reader
Adel Khamis, shows the
immaculate ten foot tall colossi
of Horus as the falcon god. A
matching colossi was destroyed.
