The Temple of kom ombo - The vestibules 1

Temple kom ombo nile

After this hall come three vestibules placed transversally, the last of which leads to the sanctuary, or to be more precise, the two sanctuaries of

Haroeris

and Sobek.
All three rooms were built by

Ptolemy

VI, Philometer and he is shown in the reliefs on the walls.

Egypt

ian Numerals on one of the walls of the Temple.

Starting at the top right, the numbers are increasing as
you read down from the top of the column towards the
bottom (25, 26, 27, 28).
Following those numbers are
three sets of

hieroglyphs

, then the last four numbers on the bottom
right are 2, 3, 4 and 5 (again, reading top down).

The last vestibule
In one of these on the internal wall of the last vestibule, the pharaoh is seen wearing his Maccedonian mantle, before the triad of

Haroeris

, Sobek and Khonsu.
There isnâ€™t much left of the sanctuaries dedicated to the two divinities.
unlike the rest of

the Temple of kom ombo

in which the right and left hand parts were fused together, the sanctuaries were clearly separated by an intermediate wall.

The decoration notes
An idea of how rich the decoration must have been can still be gathered from a fragment in the sanctuary of

Haroeris

.

**The long devoted inscription with the name of Cleopatra on the left door is still intact.
A double corridor surrounds the entire temple: seven small rooms open off the interior corridor behind the shrines.
** A staircase leads from the center room to the terrace above, with a breath-taking view over the entire Temple.

Medicine skills :-
** These chapels were also decorated, even though the reliefs often remained unfinished.
Fortunately the relief on the internal facade of the second wall is still there .
It shows a whole series of surgeon's instruments; proving the High degree of skill achieved in the field of medicine.
In Kom Ombo there is an image of what is thought to be the first representation of Medical instruments for performing surgery, including scalpels, curettes, forceps, dilator, scissors and medicine bottles dating from the days of Roman
