There is a tradition that Imhotep, the vizier and architect who designed the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, designed the first stone temple at Edfu. Little is known of this temple today, and none of its remains have been found, but it was dedicated to Horus, Hathor of Dendera, and their son, Herumatawy, or Harsomtus in Greek.

HHmm..one of the tallest pillars in Egypt. The constructions done in earlier age were the best! What creativity people had though they were not educated.

This temple seems to be very peculiar. It is not much in limelight and very few people might be knowing about it.

I agree with the above comment. This is something new which I’ve read for the first time in Egypt.

Whenever I hear about Egypt, ferros, pyramids, mummies is the only thing which starts in my mind.

The temple of Horus was constructed in a different manner. It was old yet it looked like new.
