Front Pylon -- Edfu Temple
Here's a shot of the Front Pylon, focusing
on the left side. Here you can see the rest of Ptolemy Whats-his-Number
as he offers captives to the Gods.
His upraised hand has what looks like a club,
and since we can't see his left hand anymore, it's easy to imagine
he's flipping Horus the bird and saying "come here and I'll
beat you silly, fool!"
Speaking of imagination: those two grooves
that are surrounding Horus were where flagstaffs were supposed
to go, and the square holes in the pylon were where they would
have been tied down.
Me, I thought they were very primitive laundry
chutes, but what do I know...
