It's interesting that, at least according to the updated information on Google, you can go to 4:00 p.m., but to vote in advance on June 4, 2024, you should still be able to get here until 6:00 p.m. Such an information point. Ans covers how an out-of-towner is doing when I try after four. After all, there's still time to go to the main library to lose your voice if it doesn't work out here.

I have done business with waltti services on behalf of myself and a friend several times, and a few times the customer service was a rather grumpy older woman who always turned away and did not serve at all, saying that the fault was mine and not the card/service. Always had to come back in such a way that he is not even there, otherwise received good service and the problem was always fixed when the customer service person was cooperative.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
