Nefertari
These crocodile mummies, and more besides, can be found at the aptly-named crocodile museum at Kom Ombo. The first time that I went to Egypt, these were crammed into the small space inside a shrine of Isis. There’s now a purpose-built museum at the exit of the temple grounds, and there are loads of mummified crocodiles in it. Kom Ombo was dedicated to both Horus the falcon-headed god and Sobek the crocodile-headed one, and is split straight down the middle. Kom Ombo is a Graeco-Roman temple, which is the period in which mummifying animals happened on an industrial scale.
