Ancient Nubt / Kom Ombo Settlement Context
Ancient Nubt/Kom Ombo was a long-lived settlement on the Nile; a New Kingdom temple preceded the surviving Ptolemaic-Roman double temple.
Kom Ombo
Historical Overview
Kom Ombo derives from ancient Nubt, the “golden city.” The site has a long history, but the current record should not claim a secure foundation around 3000 BCE. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities notes that an earlier temple stood here in the New Kingdom, while the surviving double temple of Sobek and Haroeris belongs mainly to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. The settlement context is therefore multi-period rather than a single early-dynastic foundation.
