         		 Kom Ombo Temple was completed in 219 AD in the Greco-Roman style. It was the only temple in Upper Egypt that was complete with a hospital, was in honour of two gods (Horus and Sobek), and served as a commercial centre: by shrummer16, Views[265]
     
    Later that evening (after a rest and sailing a bit further on), we went to visit Kom Ombo Temple: by shrummer16, Views[206]

         		 The main facade is comprised of 4 20-m tall statues of Ramses II along with several smaller statues of some of his children (he had over 170) and wives (he had 34, the favourite of which was Nefertary): by shrummer16, Views[258]

         		 During the Greco-Roman period, the crowns of the columns were carved differently - eg. with lotus (the holy flower of Aswan/Upper Egypt) and papyrus (the holy flower of Cairo/Lower Egypt). During the earlier Pharaonic period, the columns' crowns were carved with identical designs: by shrummer16, Views[857]
