The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is one of the best preserved and largest temples in Egypt. The temple was constructed during the reign of several Ptolemaic pharaohs between the period of 237 and 57 BC. The temple was thought to be built on the site of the battle between Horus and Seth, from which Horus emerged victorious. (Photo Ken Garrett)
