• Temple of Kom Ombo - The Temple of Kom Ombo is an ancient Egyptian temple located in the town of Kom Ombo near Aswan. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, between 180–47 BC, with some additions later made during the Roman period. The architecture of the temple is unique because of its ‘double’ design, with two courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms dedicated to two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and accompanied by Hathor and Khonsu, while the northern part was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris and Tasenetnofret and Panebtawy. The temple is also atypical because it is perfectly symmetrical along its main axis. The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period, and the temple held a specific theology that combined the universalist theme and the local theme . The temple was initially built in the New Kingdom, but it gained more importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
