Esna Temple of Khnum

 

S 01 Esna Temple of KhnumConnect with the Temple of Khnum, dedicated to the crocodile Angel of the Nile, with his female consort Menhit, a form of the Djedi patron lioness Angel Sekhmet, and their son Heka, the Angel of “magic” of the Djedi Magi. The Temple is also dedicated to Neith, the female Angel of Creation of the Universe.

 

The Temple ceilings feature “astronomical” images, connecting it to the Dendera “Zodiac”. Although the final Temple was constructed ca. 300 BC, Esna was first developed as a sacred site by King Djoser, connecting its energy with the Djedi Saqqara site (of the Djoser Step Pyramid) ca. 2,630 BC. Esna also has “pre-dynastic” areas dated to ca. 10,000 BC, connecting its energy with the original Giza Sphinx complex of the most ancient Magi.

Edfu Temple of Horus

 

S 02 Edfu Temple of Horus CroppedEdfu Temple, one of the larger Temples and among the best preserved, is dedicated to Horus, especially his conflicts with Seth, teaching the eternal battle of good against evil. It is also dedicated to Hathor as his wife, the focus of an annual Holy Pilgrimage as her shrine with relics was carried from Dendera to Edfu marking their sacred marriage.

 

Edfu was a major site of the Egyptian “Zep Tepi” creation myths of the “First Time” of humanity, as the source of Golden Age sacred knowledge from ca. 10,000 BC, connecting its energy with the original Giza Sphynx complex. The Edfu inscriptions extensively document the Zep Tepi teachings, essentially as a “Book of Genesis” in stone.

 

S 03 Edfu Inner Sanctuary GoldenIts Temple of Horus was established in 237 BC and completed in 57 BC, and thus used by the most famous Queen Cleopatra VII from 51-30 BC.

 

This site features one of the best preserved Shrine relics in Egypt (to receive the visiting Hathor shrine), in the inner sanctuary at the center of the Temple, surrounded by nine Chapels. It also features a walk-in Nilometer, which the Priesthood used to measure the Nile water level to calculate expected agricultural yields to plan for distribution of food supplies to the villages.

Kom-Ombo Temple of Sobek

 

S 06 Kom Ombo Temple of Sobek EntranceFeel the ambience and energies of sacred initiatory traditions at Kom-Ombo Temple in Aswan, a major initiation site for seekers to overcome the instinctive primal fear of death. This site, built in 180 BC, is unique as a symmetrical double temple, half dedicated to the crocodile Angel of the Nile Sobek, and half dedicated to Horus the Elder.

 

The Kom-Ombo inscriptions are mostly liturgies of initiation ceremonies. Its sanctuary chambers primarily feature images of crocodiles, and the Temple Crypts actually contained mummies of crocodiles wearing earrings and gilded nails. In the surrounding area 300 crocodile mummies were discovered.
