They flagged us down a mini bus and we where off again. To this bus's credit, there were only 12 people inside.
Before reaching Luxor, we stopped at a few temples, including Kom Ombo temple, dedicated to Sobek, the fertility god and Edfu temple, dedicated to Horus, the falcon god.
Truthfully, we were starting to experience temple numbness, usually brought on by visiting one too many temples in a 1 week span, but there were some cool relics.
Kom Ombo temple great hall...
Before Bansky, there was random Egyptians drawing gods on walls...
What was most amazing about the reliefs were their feet... freakishly realistic.
Sobek, the god with the head of a crocodile...
His mother Khonsu... of course, when a falcon god and a lioness god have a kid, out pops a crocdile god?
Cremonial banque (boat used to ferry the dead to the afterlife)...
In the secret perfume room, where the high priests would make perfume, using the recipes written on the walls...
