This print captures the magnificent Temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt, dating back to the 20th century. The temple complex is actually comprised of two separate temples dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder. Originally initiated by Ptolemy VI Philometer around 191-145 BC, subsequent rulers such as Ptolemy XIII made significant additions to the site. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and design of this ancient religious site.
