The Temple of Horus at Edfu exemplifies ancient Egyptian architecture, showcasing the state's role in monumental construction for religious and political purposes. While grand temples and tombs were built to last using stone, personal homes of Egyptians have largely vanished due to their perishable materials. Architectural evolution included the introduction of pylons and hypostyle halls, with significant designs persisting into the Greco-Roman era.
