Above, this side honors the crocodile headed Sobek. Crocodiles were once housed in the temple.
The other side of the temple is dedicated to Horus the Elder.

Interesting. I'll bet you were glad that crocodiles were no longer housed there, though.
Took some brave souls to be priests on that side of the temple. Shudder.
I think it's a croc... ;)
But it IS a fine photo.. and truly interesting.
Messymimi, aye.
Hilary, ow! and thanks.
An amazing photo. And I sometimes wonder....we all seem to serve more than one most days!!
Have a wonderful thanksgiving Leah! I hope you're having a feast:D
Thanks, Dawn. You, too.
Interesting is an understatement! I had no idea that crocodiles were gods. I need to go look up Horus the Elder...
