Abstract

Edfu temple is one of the most complete and well-preserved of all the Egyptian temples. The
actual building only dates back to Ptolemaic times. I aim with this essay to develop the
understanding of the two Processions of Horus of Behdety and Hathor which are existed on
the second Hypostyle Hall through the examination of the iconographies, epithets, nature and
role. The processions with statues were reminiscent of the annually journey that the statue of
the goddess Hathor undertook by boat from Dendara to Edfu. Here I am trying to investigate
questions of the physical movement of the portable barks carrying each temple’s divine statue
and to better understand the ritual events.
