Kom Ombo
This temple was unusual, all thought not unheard of, in that it was dedicated to two gods: Sobek and Horus.

From the Blue Guide
Sobek: crocodile-god, worshipped throughout Egypt.
Horus, \'the good doctor\': the falcon god, and sky god, the lving ruler, later connected with Osiris and Isis as their son, although originally no connection. Had many forms such as Harakhte, Haroeris and Harpocrates.
