Deity Divinity Edfu Falcon Horus Mythological Mythology
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the ancient statue of Horus, the falcon-headed Egyptian deity, housed in the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu in Egypt. Horus, one of the oldest and most significant gods in Egyptian mythology, was revered as a god of the sky, the protector of pharaohs, and the god of the sun's rising. The statue, carved from sandstone, depicts Horus with the distinctive falcon head, symbolizing his celestial and protective roles. The intricately detailed feathers on the wings and body are a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans. The statue's serene expression and regal posture convey the divine power and majesty of Horus. The Temple of Horus at Edfu, built during the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BC), is one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. It was dedicated to the falcon god Horus and was a center of worship for thousands of years. The temple's architecture and intricate decorations reflect the ancient Egyptians' deep reverence for their gods and their belief in the divine order of the universe. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt, transporting us back to a time when the gods were believed to be an integral part of daily life. It is a beautiful reminder of the enduring legacy of Egyptian art and the fascinating stories and beliefs that continue to captivate us today.
