After Edfu, sailing to Kom Ombo. This temple, on the banks of the Nile, is dedicated to the Gods Horus and Sobek, respectively Falcon and Crocodile... The latter, which we also find mummified in the chapel of Hathor.
Zoom in to better see the Egyptian sign that inspired the ribbon for the fight against AIDS (behind the head)
On the left, an Egyptian calendar (alas, the photo is blurry).
On the right, surgical instruments, proof of the phenomenal advance of ancient Egypt; advance due to the practice of mummification.
On the left, a nilometer, which allowed to measure the flood level, but also to fix the value of taxes...
On the right, mummified crocodile, visible in the chapel of Hathor.
