To the east of the temple are the ruins of a city (now covered by modern Idfū) dating back at least to the Old Kingdom (c. 2575–c. 2150 BCE). The Temple of Horus was built and decorated by the Ptolemies. Horus of Behdet was a divine metaphor for the living king who, having vanquished the enemy, ruled as the victorious winged sun-disc. The building of the Temple of Horus began in 237 BCE, the 10th year of the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes I (reg 246–221 BCE), and its interior was decorated by Ptolemy IV Philopator (reg 221–205 BCE) and Ptolemy VI Philometor (reg 180–145 BCE). The pronaos (traditionally called the outer hypostyle hall) was built on to the existing temple by Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II and decorated between 140 and 124 BCE. This annexed pronaos emulated the one that his brother Ptolemy VI had built on to the Temple of Isis at Philae. Subsequently, the colonnaded forecourt, pylon and enclosure wall were built and decorated by Ptolemy IX Soter II, Ptolemy X Alexander I and Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos. The interior decoration of both monuments is executed in wafer-thin raised relief except on columns, and the exterior decoration, which was addressed late in the Ptolemaic period, is boldly carved within sunken contours. The principles of Egyptian temple decoration, which first became apparent to scholars at Edfu, reveal certain visual and textual repetitions, alterations and substitutions on one or more architectural members or on coherent groups of surfaces. The remarkable theological cohesion and symmetry of representations are taken to imply premeditation by the theologians and the use of pattern books and cartoons.
