Edfu

Early start, a long wait in a que. A ride with a horse and gig and another temple.

Ride on a horse and gig before the sun came up.

The temple of Horus had another story. His father was Osiris, remember him? Got chopped up by his brother Stet. So when Horus grows up he takes revenge for his father’s death and kills Stet.

All that I just said is written down on these walls. Construction between 237 and 57BC

On the boat and off to Ensa which has a lock on the Nile. I’m thankful I didn’t need to open those gates. Had time to sketch and paint as we cruised towards Luxor.

Went to a light and sound show at a Luxor Temple tonight.

Ready for bed. Pamela.

One thought on “Edfu

  1. Well my only experience of Luxor is the Luxor Hotel in Vegas, built like a pyramid. What a fascinating trip you are having. Thanks for sll your efforts to educate the illiterate as far as Egyptian history goes 👍
