Day 5 of Seraphina’s Egypt tour brought her to Edfu and Kom Ombo! First up was the Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon headed god Horus and built over an astonishing 180 years during the Ptolemaic period. It survived remarkably intact, thanks in large part to centuries spent buried under protective sand. From there, she visited Kom Ombo, a striking temple split perfectly in half: one side honoring Horus, the other devoted to Sobek, the crocodile god. Inside, she marveled at rare carvings that reveal just how advanced ancient Egyptian knowledge of medicine and surgery truly was. Just outside the temple, a visit to the nearby crocodile museum offered a look at mummified crocodiles, preserved in honor of Sobek himself. Every stop on her trip has revealed another layer of just how sophisticated ancient Egyptian civilization really was.
