One last temple of the day. We took the c ship downriver to get to Kon Ombo to see this temple and the crocodile museum.
Kom Ombo is sighted!
It is a traffic jam
This guy will hold onto the boat for us
Nope it will take two people
We have the best balcony
Gabor is modeling the latest spring fashions
Looking up through the entire ship
A quick walk along the river
This is doum a type of fruit known to help diabetes
Kom Ombo looms large
This temple is unique in that it is shared by Horus the falcon god of the sky and Sobek the crocodile god that is thought to have created the earth
The two sides are mirror images so an not to offend either god
Some parts were disassembled and the stone used to build a sugar cane factory
Ahmed is as entertaining as ever
Lets all hold hands
Crocodile rocks
Pot a wig on him and he looks half decent
The whole gang is opening the mouth of the Pharaoh with the ankh
Look at the hat on that pharaoh
Curved beard means a god
Snakes and beehives, oh my
A bit worse for wear here, but at least it is not part of the sugar cane factory
Looks like aqua man was here
Hands, monkeys and crosses
This is showing the surgical instruments used in the day
Bone saws, spreaders, scalpels, hooks and sponges
Coffee delivery
and the veggie platter
I present to you a tiny Pharoah
Many levels
Movie Star light
Seven feet
It is like a puzzle
They took the faces off of all these defeated folks
A great orange light
We got our close-ups
Whoo hoo!
The birds are heading home
Scarab in granite
The Nilometer. these steps are spiral
A cosmic alignment
The two gods enjoying their temple
A bit out of place off to the side of the temple
Off to see some crocodiles we go
The crocodile museum
Unwrapped croc mummies
Wrapped up croc mummies
Sobek with all his fancy headgear
A whole bunch of crocodiles
Good night Egypt
