The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple built during the Ptolemaic
dynasty in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo Some additions to it were later made
during the Roman period.
The building is unique because its 'double' design meant to have
courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The
southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, God of fertility and creator of the
world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was
dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder, along with
Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor) and Panebtawy (Lord
of the Two Lands). The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly
symmetrical along the main axis.
