Temples Along the Nile River

What I Saw Today:

Today I saw the Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, and Edfu.  They were awesome.  I got to read all the hieroglyphics that I have learned.

My Favorite Part of the Day:

My favorite part of the day was going to Edfu because it is the temple of Horace and Horace is my favorite Egyptian god.

What I Learned Today:

At the Philae Temple, I learned that it was built in 400 BC for the goddess Hathor.  In 500 AD, the Greeks came in and made it a church.  In the 1960’s, they moved it so it wouldn’t be under water from the dam.  It was in The Mummy Returns.
