The Temple of Kom Ombo in Kom Ombo, Egypt, is a unique double temple dedicated to two sets of gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Built during the Ptolemaic dynasty between 180-47 BCE, the temple's unusual symmetrical design features twin entrances, halls, and sanctuaries to honor each deity equally. The site also includes a fascinating crocodile museum, showcasing mummified crocodiles discovered nearby.
