KOM OMBO TEMPLE - SECRET KNOWLEDGE & SOBEK: THE CROCODILE GOD OF EGYPT!

- Let’s explore the deep south of Egypt - a thousands years old ancient Kom Ombo temple. Secret knowledge & Sobek: the crocodile god of ancient Egypt! This ancient sacred site dates back to the Ptolemaic period and features the most breathtaking, in my opinion, architectural symbol of the era - beautiful columns capped with some of the most exquisitely crafted lotus-, papyrus-, and palm-shaped capitals.
Let’s get a closer look at the temple’s precincts and its unusual layout. Let’s get to know more about the crocodile god - Sobek, one of the most complicated ancient Egyptian theology, and mysterious relief depicting, according to some, “ancient surgical instruments”.

Nonsense, Ptolemaic architecture? examples of which are not found in Greece.
Nonsense because she says " probably Marcus Aurelius".
Either you know or you don't, it's not just her but Egyptologists, whose work she repeats, not her fault.
If you are a Greek or a Roman and you want to be accepted by the local Egyptians as their King or Queen, what you don't do is make all the local Egyptian workers unemployed and bring in a Greek or Roman work force to build the temple.
What you most likely do is commission and pay for the work to be done by the local builders.
To simply say that this or that was built by the Greeks or Romans MAY not be completely accurate.
If these temples were built in the Greek or Roman style as you find in Greece or Roman then the "built by claim" would sound more plausible.
When I was in Egypt, Kom Ombo was the first temple I visited. I couldn't believe my eyes...and I still can't. The amount of work that it took to build and inscribe defies belief. Yet, there it is.
This is the best video on Kom Ombo that I have seen. Thanks ASG.
Thank you! The quality as well as the quantity of decorations in Kom Ombo is truly breathtaking. May I ask how did it happen that the Kom Ombo temple was the first one as usually it is Luxor or Giza.
Awesome video! Can't wait for more adventures from Egypt!
Thank you so much for your support! It means world to me! :)
Another fascinating video by our own little Egyptian goddess ☺️ real interesting thank you! 🙏
Thank you! 😁
A Goddess in blue with red hair still roams the site. It's almost like watching 2001 A Space Odyssey. It all seems mysterious. The lineage of the gods and goddesses sure gets complicated.
Thank you! 😁 I love 2001 A Space Odyssey as well as every Kubrick's movie 🎥😁
Wow dude, you trying to get a date or something?
@@dandrechesterfield5411
How many times does it take saying "GREAT VIDEO" over, and over, and over, and over, and over again until it becomes the same old boring statement? Besides isn't she married?
@@catman8965 well maybe you’re not aware that you can say more than just “great video” or call her a goddess or whatever. She’s just a girl doing a tourism vlog. Maybe you could make a comment about the actual content of the video rather than on her appearance
@@dandrechesterfield5411
I have done so many times including some of the photography, audio quality, and script content. I've been a fan of the channel long before it reached 1000 subscribers, and I've made suggestions to help improve content. She knows where I live (half way around the world). She knows some of my background. And, on occasion we email each other. If you watched this channel she hasn't ask for one penny of money. She HAS asked for one thing and that is to keep the compliments coming. If she objected to the content of the comment, she has the option of shadow blocking me. Plus, I believe she is married. I haven't dated anyone in 30+ years and have no intention of starting.
BTW - she's more than just a tourist. She's an amateur historian. Have you ever heard a tourist give that much detail in a video?
I've learned more about ancient sites in 3 days, than I have in 10 year's! Incredible! Thank you, and please keep them coming! 😁
Thanks for watching and a real compliment!😊
Dziękujemy.
Dziękuję❤
Such a lovely place! ...even if we had to deal with some crocodiles every now and then. 😉 ❤❤
So true! :) thanks for commenting! :)
@@ancientsitesgirl Of course! I love your videos! Could watch them over and over! 😊
The music at the start of the video is very cool.😎 I always wonder why Egyptian murals and relief figures are sideways.🙃? It is also strange that there are reliefs in places that are too high to be seen.🙁? Thank you for the beautiful video footage.😀✨
I agree, the intro music is awesome. Would like to know who the artist is.
Thanks for the comment! The intro music is Lovren - Woodland :)
Thanks! Woodland - Lovren :)
Hey AS !. Not been to well lately so it has taken time to catch up with things. The Ptolemaic period is the one I know least about, so really cool to watch this. I will just give a big shout to your amazing camera/editing person for a great job. Your narration is wonderful. You could read me a Harry Potter book and I would listen all day. God bless and peace to all.
Hey Darren! Hope you're well now ☺️ Thank you for this wonderful feedback. You know how I appreciate your opinion. Perhaps, on one beautiful day, I'll try something in more "Podcast/audiobook" form. Take care of yourself and thank you again 🙂
I have enjoyed every video you have posted. I am always happy to see you have posted a new video. Thank you
Thank you! :)
Another great video, thanks for beautiful pictures, relaxing music and lots of interesting facts ❤️
Thanks 🧡💛💚💙
As always thank you Irene for the wonderfull share on your trip to another ancient site!
Thank you :)
Yet another engrossing and immersive video, well done. I would suggest you to also explore and post on Twitter if you haven't. Learnt a lot through several accounts which post stuff related to history, culture, archaeology, etc. Would possibly help in expanding your audience as well.
Thanks for the feedback and piece of advice! :)
Another video that is educational and enjoyable at the same time. Thank you😁🙂
Thanks! 😁
As always very exciting journey to the past! 😎👌
Thank you Greg! 😉
Wow! Well filmed and your commentary is informative.
Thank you!
Great Video as always! 😊🌸
Thank you! 😁
One of the most beautiful temples ever, it would look even more stunning if it ever got restored. I'm also a devotee to God Sobek because i love him💖🇪🇬🐊.
I'm glad I have a viewer who is a true lover of Sobek 😉 I hope you will stay
@@ancientsitesgirl Thanks and my pleasure. God Sobek was the core of my heart, and I have been loving him for almost 5 years. Shame how people spread lies, misconceptions and fake news about that God.
Yess a new video!!! Thank you for making my day so Wonderful!!! =D
Thanks! 😁
I like youre videos. Thanks for youre works🙏🏻
Thanks! :)
I was just there (Jan. 2024) and this was one of my favorite spots. I would recommend visiting the temple at dusk. They have recently installed discreet LED lighting that make the relief sculptures look amazing.
Always beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us. Who does your filming for you? That was an impressive well but quite freaky human remains were found in it! The relief wall where the kneeling god is, was that meant to have panels above showing his head, or was it meant to be this way? I love how the little sparrows have made nests in the crevices of the temple!
Thanks for such a beautiful comment :) my family member is responsible for filming. Do you like it? :) The king as well as the god in the panel had their heads once. We can't forget that the temple is more than 2000 years old and endured many damages :)
MEOW from Tucson.
Great video ! Thanks very much !

Thanks Bro! 😁
After a good greeting to your honorable person. Is the Temple of Kom Ombo called the Double Temple? Thank you
The double or the twin temple :)
That was the reason why each deity had its own temple, such as Sobek and Horus.
And what is the God who divided them?
Just posted the video to Twitter 😍
Thanks! :)
The intrigue (for myself, at least) is the portrayal of the Animal Kingdom to represent deities - that such creatures seemed to hold Theological imperatives over the Egyptians, is fascinating - & dare I say, the kudos & respect offered to the animal world - pre-humankind demonstrates this, unequivocally. I consider the Egyptian Monarchies showed far greater deference, to what we now perceive as the 'natural order' (placing human life above all else on the Evolutionary Tree). I cannot be alone in wondering whether or not the Human Race is deserving of such a mantle - the capacity for destruction & annihilation (surely) places us well below any sensical rationale. I digress.
I (also) wonder, Irena, have you considered presenting a video on Bastet, the Lioness/Cat Goddess, & if so, would that be sometime in the near future ? This video was a superb example, but then, everyrthing that I have watched thus far, has been superlative.
The first one this time!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Congrats😁!!! The background music really is relaxing. 😊
Thanks for commenting! 😁
Thank you! Happy to see you during the Premiere! :)
@@catman8965 hey dude, thought I'd find you here somewhere 😁👋
@@PatchouliPenny
Hi:
Irena always does good work. How have you been?
The crocodile is an auxiliary symbolism explaining the conception of a new body by the soul without the use of a sexual organ.
In crocodiles, the sexual organ is not visible, as if it does not exist and conception occurs very quickly and imperceptibly, this feature was used by the Egyptians to explain the rebirth of the soul.
Good informative video , not so keen on the intrusive background music !
I will try to improve
There is a ton of information carved into those walls and pillars! I would like to know what it all says
Szkoda że nie ma polskich napisów bo aż tak dobry z angielskiego nie jestem ale i tak super produkcja :) pozdrawiam 💪😀
Dzięki! Niestety ostatnio brak czasu na napisy, ale może, kto wie, kiedyś wrócą! Pozdrawiam! :)
👍👍👍

After a good greeting to your honorable person.
Is the Temple of Kom Ombo called the Double Temple?
Thank you.
:)
What's your source for how they kept and crowned a real crocodile inside the temple? From what i read, they were breed to be sacrificed and mummified and i can't find any info about a real-life crocodile king 🤔 Beautiful video, btw ❤
Explore Golgumbaz
KOM OMBO was TRADE CITY in ancient Egypt time, and same time in agriculture. We found here CROCODILES MUMMIES, Therefore we call it, CROCODILE TEMPLE. I Listen in an other DOCUMENTRY.
Thanks for the info! :)
🙂
👍

She drives me crazy
70 year old guy in america.
What I would give to be 40;years younger!!!
Just playing😂
oooh John!😊
Just curious but why is there a picture of you in every single video thumbnail? it looks like you are posing for a picture or something and then photoshopping the picture on top of the pictures of ancient sites. I think most people are just here to see the ancient sites, no offense.
Perhaps because I am vain. :D Thanks for commenting. :)
@@ancientsitesgirl heh at least you admit it!
Nonsense without details.
Sobek as TIME eats the 4 time body - leving ethernal light/soul only.
