Temple at Sundown-- Kom Ombo
By the time we got there, it was starting
to get dark. Once you go up the hill and through the gate, you
go along a large gravel path and this is over on the right.
In a sense, the fusion of these two temples
makes sense. Horus and Sobek were both known as exterminators
of the enemies of Osiris, even though they did other duties as
well.
The Temple is a beautiful piece of work, but
it's not in good shape. You can see how the roof above the hypostile
hall is falling down.
