The first pylon at Edfu temple.  This is a temple from the Roman period, built in the style of the older temples.
I guess that is relative, it is still 2000 years old.

And at the Horus statue in the courtyard

This is one of the many friezes on the walls inside the temple.  We liked the vulture headdress on the
woman in the middle

Speaking of holy--holy moley, it was HOT!  This is the temperature from my brother's alarm clock

We went to the Philae temple near Aswan as well, very beautiful on an island in the Nile
