Dating back to an astonishingly recent vintage of 23 August 237 BC, this ancient marvel stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of ancient Egyptians. At the forefront of this magnificent structure is a larger-than-life statue depicting Horus himself. Standing over two meters tall, this awe-inspiring representation greets visitors at the entrance of the temple with its commanding presence. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this statue is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and devotion that went into its creation.
