The temple is dedicated to two Gods. The Crocodiles were eating everyone at this spot and so they decided to make them a god and build a temple to them to see if that would help. I think I might do the same for the American Tax Authorities to see if that would make a difference as well. The Temple shows the first calendar (started with 350 days, 3 seasons and 40 weeks, then they changed it to 365 days. You can clearly see the instructions to the Priests to tell them what to offer the gods on specific days with the day marked with the season, week and day. Also all the early medical instruments are depicted. Hieroglyphics and pictures of Cleopatras #1 & 2.
