Temple Kom Ombo

Posted by Picasa
Temple Kom Ombo is located on a bend in the river Nile about 50 km north of Aswan. We arrived by boat and all of us gasped at the beauty of the temple. The temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus the Elder.
We saw a mumified crocodile in the side chapel of the temple. It was a huge crocodile and thrice the length of what we saw in our local Malaysian Zoo.
