Temple of Kom Ombo

The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods.

[2] Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut[3]) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)".

All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by Jacques de Morgan in 1893.

[5] In April 2018, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of the head of the bust of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius during work to protect the site from groundwater.

[6][7][8] In September 2018, the Egyptian antiquities ministry announced that a sandstone sphinx statue had been discovered at the temple.
