My video takes you on a walk through the temple of Kom Ombo, a monument dedicated to two important Egyptian gods: the crocodile Sobek and the falcon Horus. The temple honors Sobek, the deity of fertility, on its southern axis (i.e., the half of the structure shown on the right of my video) while paying homage to Horus, the god of kingship, on its northern axis. While the ancient Egyptians built an older temple during the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BCE), the current building was constructed during the Greco-Roman period (332 BCE-395 CE).
