Temple of Edfu




















Yet another temple, this one is dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Like many Egyptian temples, Edfu was buried under sand for hundreds of years until the 18th century. 

There are a lot of temples in Egypt, the ancient Egyptians really liked pleasing the Gods. If you're not a history person you might get bored (particularly in that heat), but I am so I really couldn't complain.
