The Legend of Horus of Behdet (Edfu) and the Winged Disk 9/9

Leave a Comment
After Horus crushed Seth's forces, Ra decreed: Place the Winged Disk (Api) on EVERY shrine across Upper & Lower Egypt—even Osiris's necropolises—as eternal guardian. That's why the winged sun crowns virtually every Egyptian temple entrance... to this day.  Scene 8, Edfu: end of the myth!
