Edfu, English, Early

The columns are often shaped like lotus flowers at the top to symbolize creation and new life
This is the temple of Edfu, the only temple fully in tact and totally closed

Isis and Harfur crowning the Pharoah

I figure this scene is kind of like in Indiana Jones when the light shines through to reveal the exact point of the treasure. I kept looking for snakes to come out of random holes but it never happened.. too bad

Haha, that totally looked like an Indiana Jones scene! Good times! We still need to watch the last 2 movies. Have I ever mentioned how impressed I am by all your alliteration titles? You're my hero!
