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
Aswan. Most part of the ancient ruins here is buried by sand. The ruins
of the temple have been excavated and partially restored in 1893 by
the the Egyptian Service of Antiquities, under the direction of French
archaeologist - Jacques de Morgan.

has been hidden behind the iron door of the North Descending Passage.
