27 June 2013 - ISIDA Project

Edfou Temple complex represents a great interest and requires a detailed study of each element, from the inscriptions and stone-carvings, up to the architectural roof constructions and underground crypts. To examine everything at once - was really an impossible task. Therefore, we decided to study each individual part of the building in a greater detail. Thus, during the expedition December-2012, the special attention was paid to the underground crypts.
