	Kom Ombo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kom Ombo temple is situated on the banks of the Nile some 20 miles north of Aswan, and is unusual in that it is dedicated to two gods, Horus and Sobek.
		Sobek was the crocodile god of Nile fertility, and the bend of the river here was once home to a large number of Nile crocodiles, which were held to be sacred.
		The problem is that Egypt has so many great edifices, and the money required to restore and save these historic artifacts is huge and time is a commodity in short supply, due to the effects of the High Dam.

		The distinctive crocodile-headed god, a god of water - the Nile came from his sweat and he 'made the herbage green'.
		His main centres of worship were in the Faiyum and Kom Ombo in Upper Egypt (the temple at Kom Ombo stood on a stretch of the Nile which was infested with crocodiles, descendents of these ancient crocodiles were still in this area right up to the latter part of the 19th Century.
