Temple kom ombo nile

Statues to the gods and the builders of

the Temple of kom ombo

once occupied the net room just before the sanctuaries.
The ceiling of the pure place to the north still remains with an image of Nut.
There is little left of the sanctuaries.
The

Hathor

Chapel
The "Birth House" or Mammisi and

Hathor

chapel also belonged to the Temple complex of Kom Ombo.
The

Hathor

Chapel is in better state.
It is situated to the right of

the Temple of kom ombo

and was built by Domitian in honor of

Hathor

whom the Greek identified with Aphrodite.
Various

crocodile gods

sarcophagi and mummies, from the excavations of a neighboring necropolis, can now be seen in this chapel, which was donated by a wealthy Roman matron.

The Nilometer
The Nile was ill-suited to a dense population in antiquity.
It runs between steep and narrow banks of sandstone, and deposits but little of its fertilizing slime upon the dreary and barren shores.
At this site there is another Nilometer used to measure the level of the River waters.
On the opposite side of the Nile was a suburb of Ombos, called Contra-Ombos.
