The photo shows a relief from the Horus temple in Edfu. Edfu is situated between Luxor and Aswan and the temple is built between 247-257 BC (Ptolemaic period). It is the most completed and best preserved of all temples in Egypt. Edfu is also a traditional location of the mythological battle between Horus and Seth. On this wall relief you can see pharoah Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (170-116 BC) set between two goddesses: Wadjet, patron deity of Lower Egypt (on the left) and Nekhbet, patron deity of Upper Egypt (on the right). Goddesses are actually crowning the king with the unified crown of Lower and Upper Egypt, unifying the land of Egypt as well.

The collection of A. Beato photographs in the Archaeological museum in Dubrovnik contains cultural-historical monuments from various locations in Upper Egypt. The biggest numbers of photographs were shot in the region of ancient Thebes, one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. Besides the photos of Karnak (11), Luxor (8) and Medinet Habu (6), the temple of god Horus in Edfu (5) and temple complex on the island of Philae (7) were also recorded.

Archaeological museum in Dubrovnik house very valuable collection of A. Beato photographs which could be compared with the ones from Los Angeles, New York and Florence. These photographs could be very valuable tool for the research of the history of the taken sites and monuments, and for all those who are interesting about the tourism and tourist travels to Egypt during the second half of the 19th century.
