mammoth statues right at the entrance, leading on to the main

dedicated to Nefertiti, the queen of Ramses II, and is equally
stunning to behold.
The Temple of Kom OmboWith a

two major Egyptian deities, the crocodile god Sobek and the sky god
Horus. The dual-focussed temple features carvings, statues, reliefs
and more, giving both the gods equal importance. Legend claims the
