We woke up and had breakfast. Then we went to Kom Ombo temple dedicated to the crocodile god, Sobek. Crocodiles were greatly worship the crocodiles. They thought that crocodiles were very powerful. On the walls of the temple there was a medical table and some of the instruments we use today are just the same as ancient Egyptians. The way that Egyptians could tell that it was a girl or boy is that they had the woman pee on a barley and a wheat seed. If the barley sprouted first, it was going to be a boy and if the wheat sprouted first, it was a girl. This system was right 80% of the time! After Kom Ombo, we say a crocodile museum. We weren’t allowed to take pictures inside though. The Egyptians worshiped crocodiles so much, they did the mummification process on them to. Giving them a sarcophagus and taking their organs out too. After that we went back to the boat and Sam swam in the Nile while I read my book. The rest of the day we relaxed, I played Scrabble against dad and won! Then we had to dinner and went to bed.
