When one visits the temple of Horus in Edfu (Egypt), is shocked to see the angry face of the most famous of the falcons. Someone explained to me, the reason for that, and it was the fear of the ancient priests to the temples theft, therefore those thieves who believed in the power of the ancient gods, when they found face to face with the angry face of Horus, it´s sure they could think that perhaps that was not the best welcome card so could be better leave the theft for another time. So still nowadays, we can see the angry face of this falcon giving the welcome to the temple to great number of visitors that comes from around the world, despite that in this very moment, they don´t come in big amounts, like some years ago.
