Temple of Kom Ombo

Welcome to my home #4


The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo located on the Nile about 30 Miles (50 km) north of Aswan. The building is unique because of its ‘double’ design. Everything is perfectly symmetrical along a main axis because the temple is dedicated to two gods. The southern part is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility, and the northern part to the falcon god Horus.

I was fascinated by Egypt since I was a little boy and it probably started when I saw the funeral mask of Tutanchamun in an exhibition at Hamburg, Germany (about 30 years ago). In 2000 I got the opportunity for a vacation trip to Egypt and this detail of a coloumn in the Kom Ombo temple is one of three pictures that made it on our walls. I hope you like it too.

With one exception the pictures of this series of pictures we have on the wall at home are taken with my old Minolta SLR’s (a DYNAX – or Maxxum – 500si and a 600si Classic) and scanned using my brother Karsten’s Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II (Thanks brother).
