Alledgedly, these are the buildings that had grass and sheep on them when they were first built! Can't remember the exact date or who comminsioned them now!

Some useful info on these linkshttp://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/TEXmarsha ... 9249294The sheep story is true but they were removed after a glass section of the roof collapsed under their weight, unsure of the date though.

Hello all,The phot's are great. I work in offices near Temple Mill, whenever I walk past it I am strangly drawn to it. Its a beautiful building and I am always intrigued to what it is like inside. I'd love to have a look round it.

Here's a picture of the original - the hypostyle hall of the temple of Horus at Edfu.It was built during the Ptolemaic period (construction took place from 237b.c. to52b.c. apparently) and so is very late by ancient Egyptian standards - one of the last major temples to be built.
