Légende

'The holy of holies and shrine for the divine image, Temple of Edfu, Egypt', 1905. 'We are now standing where only the King and High Priest were allowed to enter, in the holy of holies of the great Horus Temple at Edfu...where the sacred processions stopped as the High Priest went in to perform the daily ritual before the god in the holy place, while on the great feast days a multitude of this man's ancestors thronged the court outside. They were simple villagers like him; they never saw the interior of this holy chamber.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
