Kom Ombo - Temple of Sobek and Haroeris

This is a temple dedicated to 2 Egyptian gods. The temple is a mirror image if you split it down the middle.
Column carved with an image of Sobek the Crocodile god
Wood was used to hold stones together, this is probably a 3000 yr old piece of wood. They also put sand between layers of stones to protect against earthquakes.
