Edfu-Project

The Edfu Project focuses on the translation of hieroglyphic inscriptions at the Temple of Edfu, an ancient religious structure dedicated to Horus, located in Upper Egypt. This temple, constructed during the Ptolemaic period, is a prominent example of the Graeco-Roman temple architecture and holds significant historical and linguistic value due to its extensive hieroglyphic records. The inscriptions offer critical insights into the religious practices and cultural expressions of the time. The project aims to provide comprehensive translations and analyses of these texts, contributing to the understanding of ancient Egyptian language and literature. These efforts are essential for scholars across disciplines, facilitating a deeper appreciation of the temple's role in historical contexts.
