Temple of Kom Ombo, Aswan Overview
Located on the banks of the river Nile, the Temple of Kom Ombo is situated in a village that goes by a similar name. This unusual temple of ancient Egypt is dedicated to two deities, Haroeris – the falcon-headed god Horus the Elder and God Sobek –crocodile–headed god, who was also the first known god of the kingdom.
The remains of several intricately carved columns can still be found in the twin temples, showing an architectural similarity and symbolizing a common theme of the local and universalist significance of the two deities. The temple dates back to 180 - 47 BCE and was majorly built during the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
