EGYPT: December - 2012. Edfou.The Temple of Horus.
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.
The city of Kom Ombo is located on the
east bank of the Nile river in 50 km to the north from the city of

archaeologist - Jacques de Morgan.
