Thirty-five miles north of Aswan in southern Egypt stands the exquisite temple of KomOmbo. A site of tremendous antiquity, this Ptolemaic ruin [200 BC] is the only temple dedicated to the god Horus and Sobek, the gods of light and darkness respectively. KomOmbo sits atop the foundations of temples that extend back in time to a point called Zep Tepi, the First Time. This is the place where the forces of light and darkness converge. Among the multiple functions of this temple is that it may have been a medical college of sorts. Hieroglyphic details of medical procedures using delicate surgical instrumentsadorn the causeways of the temple.
