The Temple of Kom Ombo

The Temple of Kom Ombo was built more than two thousand years in Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty in the town of Kom Ombo. It is the only double temple egyptian, so named because it is dedicated to two gods: one side of the temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world, the other side is dedicated to the falcon god Horus.
