RECREATION

This highly accurate recreation of the original wall relief  located at the Temple of  Edfu nort of the Aswan dam in Egypt. The original wall bas relief has been somewhat eroded by time and looters. 

Artists-archeologists in the United States carefully restored the original intricate details onto a scaled master from which this reproduction was created.

Every effort was made to make the recreation as accurate as possible - the look and feel of ancient stone, individual hand painting, etc. - and we are proud of the results.

Temple of Horus at Edfu (Idfu)
The town of Edfu is located on the west back of the Nile River, some sixty miles south of Luxor, with Aswan further south. Its ancient name was Wetjeset-Hrw, or "The Place Where Horus is Extolled."  The modern Arabic name of Edfu is derived from the ancient Egyptian name Djeba, or Etbo in Coptic. Djeba meant "Retribution Town", since the enemies of the god were brought to justice therein.

Dedicated to Horus, the falcon headed god, this Temple was built during the reigns of six Ptolemies. We have a great deal of information about its construction from reliefs on outer areas. It was begun in 237 BC by Ptolemy III Euergetes I and was finished in 57 BC. Most of the work continued throughout this period with a brief interlude of 20 years while there was unrest during the period of Ptolemy IV and Ptolemy V Epiphanes.  This is not only the best preserved ancient temple in Egypt, but the second largest after Karnak. The ancient Egyptions believed that the temple was built on the site of the great battle between Horus and Seth.

The GOD HORUS
Horus is the Falcon- God 'Lord of the Sky' and symbol of divine kingship. The name Horus is a latinized form of the greek 'Hores' which in turn derived from the egyptian 'Hor'. This name comes from the same root as the egyptian word for 'the high' or 'far away'. Horus was represented either as a falcon- headed man or as a falcon. The sky was represented by the wings of Horus and his two eyes symbolized the sun and the moon, with the right eye being the sun and the left, the moon. The phrase 'the eye of Horus' usually refers to the moon eye. It was this eye that was lost to Seth and later, after being recovered, presented to Osiris to aid him in his resurrection. The falcon was sacred to Horus from the earliest times and the image of a falcon on its perch became the hieroglyp symbol representing the word 'God'. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was seen as a manifestation of the 'living Horus' on the throne of Egypt and each succeeding Pharaoh used the name of Horus as the first of his titles. 

THE HORUS RELIEF

This striking figure shows the Falcon God wearing the crown of a Pharaoh surrounded by  incised with hieroglyphic writing and bearing a Pharaoh's cartouche.  The hieroglyphs request the protection of Horus on endeavors of the owner and seeks his intervention with both the Pharaoh and the Gods to assure a successful outcome. 
 


Hang this lovely relief on the wall of your home or office and be watched over by the ancient Lord of the Sky.
