TEMPLES OF EGYPT.
Edfs Sacred 10 Osiris, and kem ombo
to the Crocodile God.

EoR1 sacred 20 Osiris ana Nom Om1c
70 the Crocodile God.
In journeying to Assuan from
Thebes the traveller cannot fail to
be impressed By the two beautiful
temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo.
The former, situated almost midway
IN the journey, is Of special interest
because it is the best preserved Of
all the Egyptian temples. 1t was a
center Of the cult Of Osiris, whose
death and rising again we're cele-
DRAFTED every spring within its close.
The festival began with deep
mourning. Professions Of priests
marched around the walls deploring
the death Of their god in the con-
test with the evil one. In the sane
tuary lay the mummy personiied by
priest, while a priestess who rep
resented Isis wept over her dead
lord and begged for his return. At
last the resurrection morning came,
the mummy arose, and JOY reigned
among the worshipers. Again pro-
cessions formed upon the walls and,
marching with banners and musical
instruments, proclaimed the risen
lord to those who stood about.
A few miles away is Kom 0mbo,
the beautiful temple of Sebek, the
crocodile god, whose deyotees hated
the worshipers Of Osiris as fercely
as in later times the followers Of
the prophet hated the Coptic monks
whom they found before them in
this very valley. Like Edfu, it dates
from the days Of the Ptolemies, who
built both buildings on ancient
sites.
The rulers of that time were Hell
lenists, but their architecture was
that Of ancient Egypt, so firmly root
ed in the land were the old dynastic
traditions. Persian, Greek and Ro-
man came and carved their names
upon the temples, but left no mark
upon the unchanging spirit Of
Egypt Not even today is there
any alteration, for still the houses
in the villages are built as Of old,
and over them rise the pigeon tow
ers, yeritable pylons, exactly ike
the lowered gateways of the ancient
temples. William War6eld In
