The largest temple was dedicated to Isis not Horus. Even though he too had a temple there. As did OSiris. I'm missing the catacombs and the nilometer where they messured the height of the water in the Nile. I also don't remember a pool in the courtyard. There's also a smaller building to the right from the temple. There are also rooms behind the pillars in the courtyard.

Good try though. How ever I'm a bit difficult to convince, after all I've been there and it is my favourite temple after Dendara with its catacombs with alien/sci-fi hieroclyfics and images.

Others might enjoy it more.

Hi there

Re-checking the plan I worked from I did in fact miss rooms behind some of the pillars in the second part of the Hypostyle Hall. But apart from that this is close. This was according to the site I got it from the Temple of Horus not Isis or Osiris.

The link is here:

Apart from that thanks for your comment, I appreciate the feedback.

The temple is really good. I'm creating a tomb raider video from it. Thanks a lot ^_^
