Previously,
archaeologists have also found evidence
that the temple was “dedicated to two
different gods… Sobek and Haroeris.” All this evidence indicates
that ancient Egyptians of the “modern state
era” had some interfaith tendencies.
Sobek was a protective
crocodile-looking god, who was
associated with safety and military prowess. Falcon-headed Haroeris was
originally the son of sun-god Ra, and therefore
became known as the god of light.
