My photos inside the Crododile Museum right beside the Temple of Kom Ombo in Aswan, Egypt.

What do you see in a crocodile museum?

"The Crocodile Museum is located next to the Kom Ombo temple, north of Aswan. This museum has highlighted the crocodile-headed god Sobek since it was opened in 2012. Its main exhibition hall displays the mummified mummies of Nile crocodiles. The longest crocodile was 4.30 m, while the smallest was 2 m.

In addition to a collection of crocodile fetuses, eyes, and golden and ivory teeth of mummified crocodiles. The museum also shows statues of different sizes of the god Sobek and a tomb model that simulates what was discovered in the Shutb cemetery. It shows the burial methods and the pottery coffins that contained this sacred animal's mummy." --- Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities, Egypt.

My photos at the Temple of Kom Ombo in Aswan, Egypt. So far, this temple has the most tourists out of all the temples we have visited. It was crowded!

"The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was 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, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)". The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis." --- Wikipedia

"Cymetrodons" is my love letter to alien invasion and Japanese kaiju movies. It takes place on an alternate version of Earth called Geb, where human beings never evolved from apes. Geb is instead populated by three different civilizations: the Kektrish (a race of crocodile people who live in Great Kektrys), the Baskilians (a race of snake people who live in Baskilia), and the Nephret (a race of frog people who live in Nephret).

The Baskilians are magnificent technicians and have built robotic "limb suits" to give themselves arms and legs. The Nephret are prolific healers who distill medicines from the poisonous toxins on their skins, and they can also regrow their limbs or even change their sexes as needed. The Kektrish have a long history of civil war and have invented a weapon called "the Ghost Ray" that can decimate entire cities with one shot.

The story of "Cymetrodons" begins shortly after the last Kektrish Civil War, when the Ghost Ray is sabotaged by a Kektrish soldier named Grawuul. Following this, the Three Peoples of Geb are attacked by an alien invasion force. The aliens are known only as "the Strangers" and are impervious to all conventional weaponry. The Kektrish government wants to re-deploy the Ghost Ray against these invaders, but the rest of the world knows this would be an apocalyptic mistake. So Grawuul offers to lead a special group - WIT (the World Intelligence Taskforce) - to find a less catastrophic way of battling the Strangers.

Grawuul recruits Kroakoan, a Nephret doctor and peace activist who has personally witnessed the horrors of the Ghost Ray, and Thyssa, a Baskilian mechanic and daredevil who enjoys building killer robots. With Thyssa's help, WIT builds three gigantic robot monster machines to fight the Strangers: Motormouth, Roughneck, and Steeltoe. These giant robots are the titular Cymetrodons, and they are all that stand between the Three Peoples of Geb and extinction.

This album is dedicated to the holy Netjeru, Lord Sobek, Lady Wadjet, and Lady Heqet. It is available on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and various other digital music platforms. I've also produced a complete animated film for the album (just over 1 hour in length), which can be enjoyed for free on YouTube.

Belgische archeologen hebben tien #krokodillenmummies onderzocht. Deze werden door Spaanse #archeologen in 2019 gevonden bij Aswan in #Egypte. De krokodillen zijn wellicht gebruikt tijdens rituelen voor de Egyptische god #Sobek (met interessant filmpje).
