Kom Ombo and Crocodiles

This is our group, going by horse-drawn carriage to the temple of Edfu. This is one excursion that I missed.

Here is the entrance to the area of the temple of Kom Ombo, taken from the deck of the ship. This temple was constructed in the second century BC, by the Ptolemaic Pharaohs.

The primary entrance to the temple.

An inner courtyard.

Wall carvings.

I especially liked the bee.

Several hundred crocodile mummies were excavated at Kom Ombo, revered as a symbol of a God. The Crocodile Museum has preserved dozens of them, wrapped and unwrapped.
