埃德福神庙

埃德福神庙位于尼罗河西侧的上埃及埃德福。在拉丁语中,这座城市被称为 Apollonopolis Magna,以纪念主神荷鲁斯,在希腊人的理解中,荷鲁斯与阿波罗有关。它是埃及维护最完好的神庙之一。神庙建于公元前 237 年至公元前 57 年托勒密王国执政时期。神庙墙壁上的碑文为了解希腊化时期埃及的语言、神话和宗教提供了重要线索。在神庙中发现的文字铭文提供了有关神庙建造的详细信息,还包括有关神庙作为创世起源的传说。神圣戏剧》中还有一些重要的片段和文字描述了荷鲁斯和塞特之间永恒的竞争。它们的翻译工作由埃德福项目完成。

埃德福神庙是托勒密王国建造的几座神庙之一,如登德拉神庙群、埃斯纳神庙、孔翁博神庙和菲莱神庙。其规模反映了当时的财富水平。现在的神庙始建于公元前 237 年 8 月 23 日,由一个带圆柱的大厅、两个横跨的大厅和一个周围有小教堂的船用圣殿组成。该建筑于托勒密三世-尤尔盖特斯(Ptolemy III Euergetes)统治时期开始修建,在托勒密十二世-奥勒特斯(Ptolemy XII Auletes)统治时期于公元前 57 年完工。现在的荷鲁斯神庙建在以前一座较小神庙的原址上。不过,旧神庙的方向是东西向,而不像新神庙那样是南北向。在现神庙附近的发现包括一个被毁坏的东部塔楼,显示出新王国国王拉美西斯一世、塞提一世和拉美西斯二世的建筑工程。

奈克塔尼波二世的神像位于内殿。

391 年,狄奥多西一世禁止非基督教崇拜,导致异教徒受到压迫,此后埃德福神庙不再用于宗教活动。与其他地方的情况类似,在埃及崛起的基督徒破坏了神庙中的大量雕刻浮雕。人们认为,至今仍能看到的伪神殿烧焦的天花板,就是蓄意纵火烧毁异教宗教象征物造成的。

随着时间的推移,神庙被埋在 12 米(39 英尺)深的沙漠流沙和尼罗河淤泥下。居住在附近的人们直接在旧神庙的顶部建造了房屋。1798 年,一支法国探险队发现了神庙,但只能看到神庙的部分塔架。1860 年,法国埃及学家奥古斯特-马里埃特开始从沙土中挖掘埃德福神庙。

埃德福神庙保存完好,是古埃及神庙的典范。由于其重要的考古意义和保存完好的状况,该景点已成为埃及的顶级旅游景点,也是许多尼罗河游轮经常停靠的地方。2005 年,为方便游客参观该神庙,增设了游客中心和铺设了路面的停车场。2006 年末,又安装了照明系统,以便夜间参观。
