Lex Lovey and Jeffrey speak from a visit to the Edfu temple and a later ride on the Nile. Lovey says the place honors falcon god Horus and treats one carving as a real stargate, the only copy of its kind. Another speaker recounts an early war between Horus and Set, with Osiris, a sky goddess, an earth god, and wind god Shu. Osiris is said to aid resurrection and then leave a successor, while Set grows angry and the tale includes a decision to kill Horus. Wall scenes show a king with Horus in a small boat, other deities behind, fierce crocodiles, and a hippopotamus flipped in defeat. Lovey notes a shrine nested in another and says the writing has a full rendering. He describes a sacred island risen from the first waters, home of the earliest gods, and later destroyed. He claims that account comes from a different age than Plato’s Atlantis and is not the same story. On the river, Jeffrey notes sculpture cut into the rock near cliff tombs.
