State : Well Preserved Address: On the West Bank of the Nile, in the city of Edfu, Aswan بالضفة الغربية من وادي النيل بمدينة إدفو بأسوان Beside the bark , there is a granite naos which was used to keep the statue . The naos is older than the temple itself as it was ordered by Nectanebo I of the Thirty Dynasty . At the entrance of the sanctuary , we can still see holes that were used to hold the wooden doors that closed the naos . Around the sanctuary , there are ten small chapels that contain texts of hymns to Horus . Related Articles ..
