EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief depicts the god Sobek, the ancient Egyptian deity associated with the Nile and the crocodile, wearing the distinctive Shuty crown. The Temple of Kom Ombo, located in Upper Egypt, is dedicated to both Sobek and Haroeris, the falcon god. The temple, which dates back to the Ptolemaic Dynasty of the 2nd century BC, is a unique double temple, with each side dedicated to a different god. The Shuty crown, also known as the Crux Ansata or Ankh Cross, is a symbol of life and rebirth in Egyptian mythology. It represents the ankh, the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for life. The god Sobek, often depicted as a crocodile or a man with a crocodile head, was believed to have the power to give and take life. The scepter in Sobek's hand is another symbol of his power and authority. The intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions on the temple walls tell the stories of the gods and the history of the pharaohs. The temple complex also includes a crocodile museum, where mummified crocodiles were once displayed, reflecting the importance of the crocodile in ancient Egyptian culture. The Temple of Kom Ombo is a testament to the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt. Its intricate reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions offer a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of a civilization that has captivated the world for thousands of years.
