- Temple of Kom Ombo - This structure stands out due to its ‘double’ design, featuring duplicated courts, halls, sanctuaries, and rooms for two sets of deities. The southern section of the temple is devoted to Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and creator of the world, along with Hathor and Khonsu. In contrast, the northern section is dedicated to Haroeris (“Horus the Elder”), alongside Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a unique form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands). The temple is unusual in that everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.
- Temple of Horus - The Temple of Edfu, situated on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt, is an Egyptian temple. During the Hellenistic period, the city was known as Ἀπόλλωνος πόλις in Koinē Greek and Apollonopolis Magna in Latin, named after the chief god Horus, who was equated with Apollo under the interpretatio graeca. It is among the best-preserved shrines in Egypt. Constructed during the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC, the temple’s wall inscriptions offer significant insights into the language, myth, and religion of Hellenistic Egypt. Notably, the inscribed building texts provide details about its construction and preserve information on the mythical interpretation of this and other temples as the Island of Creation. Additionally, there are crucial scenes and inscriptions of the Sacred Drama depicting the ancient conflict between Horus and Seth, translated by the Edfu-Project.
