Temple of Kom Ombo

Kom Ombo Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Kom Ombo in Egypt.
Today, the Egyptian city of Kom Ombo has approximately 70,000 inhabitants.Its outstanding double temple has made it famous throughout the world. Today, the mummified remains of ancient Nile crocodiles are displayed within a chapel that was once dedicated to the goddess, Hathor. These great reptiles were worshipped as sacred animals. One half of the double temple belonged to the crocodile-headed deity, Sobek, the son of Hathor. Today’s Kom Ombo Temple was divided into two asymmetric parts by its Ptolemaic builders. Within the right section of the building, Sobek was worshipped, while the left half was dedicated to Haroeris. The external surrounding wall of the temple contains several strange pictures and reliefs including portrayals of early medical instruments. A kind of medicine cupboard was carved into the stone. It shows highly developed medical implements, among them a variety of surgical instruments and even forceps. The profession of doctor was popular and widespread throughout ancient Egypt. However, the Gods were also called upon as soon as there was illness as it was believed that medicine alone could not provide a cure. Images of numerous Egyptian rulers adorn the walls. Queen Cleopatra, the legendary last Ptolemaic sovereign, was also immortalized here. Outside the temple there is a “Birth House” next to the small Hathor Chapel. The Mammisi contains the remarkable portrayal of a nursing mother. During the Ptolemaic period each temple contained a Mammisi that was decorated with portrayals and hieroglyphs. Here, the birth of the children of the gods was celebrated. Due to the ancient relics and the double temple of Kom Ombo we have been able to gain an even greater understanding of Egypt’s fascinating past.

Temple of Kom Ombo معبد كوم امبو - Egypt

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple built during the Ptolemaic dynasty in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo.[1] Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods.[2] 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.[2] 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).[2] The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.

EGYPT: Kom Ombo Temple

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo, along the river Nile, in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were 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.

The northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder).

It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.

Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects.

Visitors can observe a non-operational nilometer, a structure used by the ancient Egyptians to measure the water level of the river in order to predict floods. The nilometer features a channel leading from the riverbank to a well. However, water now no longer reaches the well.

The Crocodile Museum, near the Kom Ombo Temple, displays 22 mummified crocodiles of various sizes to have been discovered in the vicinity. It is Egypt's first museum devoted exclusively to crocodiles, inaugurated on Januari 31, 2012.

Learning About Fabulous Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt

Kom Ombo Temple dates from 180 B.C. and stood on the crossroads of an Ancient Trade Route between Nubia and the gold mines in the Eastern Desert.

It also became a training spot under Ptolemy VI for elephants! Can you believe that? This particular spot in the Nile River was a favorite haunt of crocodiles and whatever the Egyptians feared, usually became a god. In this case, Sobek with the body of a human and head of a crocodile.

Kom Ombo is also unusual because it is dedicated to two gods, Sobek and the falcon headed god, Horus. The Outer Hypostyle Hall has 15 columns topped with floral capitals bearing lotus, and papyrus decorations. A truly beautiful temple with even more interesting parts to see, in tomorrow's video...

The Kom Ombo Temple - Sobek & Horus - Nile Cruise [Egypt Vlog #4]

Day 2 of our Nile Cruise in Egypt with 'De Blauwe Vogel'.
Our first visit : the Kom Ombo Temple.

The Temple of Kom Ombo stands just on the Nile, situated between Edfu and Aswan.
The temple is very unique as it is dedicated to two primary gods, Sobek and Horus the Elder. The temple was also known as the house of the crocodile, refering to Sobek, and the castle of the falcon, refering to Horus.

Entering into the main court, there are 16 colums, eight on each side of the court. A granite altar sits in the center of the main court. On the rear wall of the main court are five lotus shaped colums along with a screen wall. Two entrances, one for each god, open up here. Through both entrances lies the first hypostyle hall. There are 10 lotus shaped colums here with the middle two seperating the two halves of the hall.
Seperate entrances guide you into the second hypostyle hall, known as the hall of offering. A secret corridor between two sanctuaries allowed a priest acting as the oracle to pronounce the gods will.

A huge number of crocodiles once roamed in and around the temple. More than 300 crocodile mummies were found here.

Hi, I am Eileen from Belgium, nice to meet you. I started this channel two years ago but was not updating on a regular basis. After making some videos for friends and family, I realized this is something I love to do. I got inspired by some of my favorite YouTube channels such as Travellight, Kara & Nate, The Way Away and the Bucketlist Family. I accepted the challenge to visit all Belgian municipalities and because I love to travel, I do it as often as possible.

The Temple of Kom Ombo - Part 1, Egypt

The temple which is located about 50 Kms north to Aswan was dedicated to two Gods of Ptolomaic age, Sobek that was crocodile-headed god and Aroeres (Haroeris) was dedicated to Horus. Jan 25, 2009.

Calendars and Surgical Tools Kom Ombo Temple, Egypt

The most interesting and unique parts of Kom Ombo Temple (for us) was the Egyptian calendar system and surgical tools incised into the walls.

This made an indelible impression 23 years ago and still boggles my mind. Can you imagine that 5,000 years later, doctors are still using the same surgical instruments to perform operations? And the ancient Egyptians were performing brain surgery? Incredible!

Kom Ombo Temple ~ Egypt

A look at Kom Ombo Temple, located on a small bend on the Nile about 345 miles (550 km) south of Cairo and the Great Pyramid. It is unique because it is a double temple dedicated to Sobek the crocodile god, and Haroeris a form of the falcon-headed god Horus. It was built roughly 2,150 years ago during the Ptolemaic era but there is evidence of earlier temples on this site going back at least to 1500 BC.

During the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor (180-145 BC), it became a training depot for African war elephants, which were used to fight the fierce pachyderms of the Seleucid empire.

The temple at Kom Ombo was also built at this time, under Ptolemy VI. Since this bend in the Nile was a favored spot for crocodiles to bask in the sun and threaten locals, it is natural that the temple would be dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god. But it is unusual in having a double dedication: it also honors Haroeris, a form of the falcon-headed god Horus.
The hypostyle halls were added under Ptolemy XIII (51-47 BC); the Roman emperor Trajan (53-117 AD) added the forecourt and outer enclosure walls

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple built during the Ptolemaic dynasty in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo.[1] Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods.[2] 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.[3] 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).[4] The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.

The temple was started by Ptolemy VI Philometor (180-145 BC) at the beginning of his reign and added to by other Ptolemys, most notably Ptolemy XIII (47-44 BC), who built the inner and outer hypostyle halls. The scene on the inner face of the rear wall of the temple is of particular interest, and probably represents a set of surgical instruments.[5]

Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts who once used the temple as a church. All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by De Morgan in 1893.[6]

A few of the three-hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed inside the temple.
