Beautiful church to the cemetery is so pretty and well maintained to wn weather time both by those who have their loved ones and close here but not least by a wonderful good church servant that we are so holy to have in Gausdal. He is not possible to get pink high enough, he is absolutely wonderfully helpful to good. Thank you so much for everything you do for all of us. We appreciate that immensely.

Historic Site of the week

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.
