Horus Gets a Memorial

Temple of Horus at Edfu

At the site where they believe that the Horus and Set battle took place, they built a temple in his glory. Starting 237 B.C. a man named Ptolemy III Euagates I started construction of the temple in a small town called Edfu, and finished in 57 B.C. It is mainly made from sandstone bricks. It is the most well preserved temple in all of Egypt. That's more than everything else dedicated to anyone in all of Egypt. It's also the second largest temple in all of Egypt, right behind the Karnak temple. Many other temples were also built on this same location. Apparently they were either knocked down or just broke down.
