Temple of Kom Ombo, Upper Egypt. Constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180-47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek. the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret, a special form of Hathor

The Moon God Aglibol, the Supreme God Beelshamen, the Sun God Malakbel, found at Bir Wereb, Wadi Miyah, near Palmyra. Palmyra was an ancient city in Syria. It was an important city in central Syria, located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus and 180 km southwest of the Euphrates at Deir ez-Zor. It had long been a vital caravan city for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means 'the town that repels' in Amorite and 'the indomitable town' in Aramaic) is recorded in Babylonian tablets found in Mari.

Arm Panel From a Ceremonial Chair of Thutmose IV. Dimensions: H. 25.1 cm (9 7/8 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: reign of Thutmose IV. Date: ca. 1400-1390 B.C..In 1903 Theodore M. Davis discovered a tomb in the Valley of the Kings that belonged to Tuthmose IV, whose throne name was Menkheperure. The fragmentary remains of the king's funerary equipment included this arm panel from a throne. A second arm panel from the same throne is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The scenes on the panels suggest that the throne was used either for the king's coronation, or possibly for his thirty-year jubilee, the Sed festival, or Heb-Sed. The panel in the Metropolitan Museum is from the left arm of the throne. Traces of glue on the surface suggest that the beautifully carved low relief, with its exquisitely executed details, was once covered with gold foil. On one side, the king is shown as a sphinx subduing the enemies of Egypt. The front edge of the panel is missing, but the text before the
