Virtual tour of the Temple of Horus at Edfu!

This impressive tour of the Temple of Horus was created by UK programmers MellaniuM using its UNREAL gaming engine for 3D rendering of architectural prototypes.

This brings back memories of when I was actually at Edfu last December. :D

The name Edfu comes from the hieroglyph Ebdu, meaning victory, for according to legend it was there that the falcon-headed god Horus overpowered Set (who had murdered his father Osiris) in the form of a pygmy hippopotamus.

Edfu today is... a horribly dirty and smelly town, with starved, mangy horses, and people pestering us for tips and who made my heart ache. :/
