Kom Ombo Temple

North of Aswan along the Nile (of course) is the Temple of Kom Ombo, unique in being a matched set of two temples dedicated to two gods, side by side: Horus (typically represented in his manifestation as a falcon) and Sobek (typically in his manifestation as a crocodile). Sobek is associated with fertility, power and military prowess, although he also helped Isis to heal Osiris. You’ve met Horus, god of kingship and the sky and the son of Isis and Osiris (whose murder he must avenge), forming the most important little family in the Egyptian religion.

Depictions like this offering scene can help date construction, as cherries, for example (upper left, next to damaged area), were unknown in Egypt until the Greco-Roman period.

The ancient Egyptians applied their skill at mummification to many kinds of animals, including these crocodiles found at Kom Ombo and exhibited at the nearby museum. There had been something like 300 of them, but most were stolen.
