The First Pylon of the Temple of Edfu

---

The First Pylon of the Temple of Horus measures over 34 meters high . It is one of the most preserved pylons of any Egyptian temple where we can find scenes of Ptolemy XIII smiting the enemies of Egypt before Horus . Observing the factions of the enemies , we find that they were not Nubian or Asiatics , like in standard Pharoanic temple scenes , but they were almost Greek and Mediterraneans .
The Pylon lost its cornice and in the middle , above the entrance door , we can see the Winged Sun , that commemorates the victory of Horus over Seth .
The Pylon also has four niches that once held the ancient ceremonies' flags , And at its front , we can see two granite statues of Horus as a falcon , flanking the entrance to the temple .
