The Temple of Kom Ombo in Kom Ombo in Egypt is an initiation chamber. The left half of this temple is dedicated to light and the right half to darkness. If you look carefully at the temple you will see that the left half is intact and the right half is destroyed. Light is always superior to darkness. The Egyptians built initiation chambers (temples) along the Nile River to overcome fear. The Egyptians knew that fear was a wall that blocked everything. So they organized studies, established practical schools and built temples to overcome it. Water from the Nile River would flow into the temple and fill a pool filled with crocodiles. This pool is located underground and is 12 meters wide. At the back of the temple there is a small hole. The initiates would enter through this hole and reach the pool full of crocodiles. These crocodiles were well fed, so they would not attack the initiates. But because the initiates did not know this, they were afraid. That was the purpose for which the temple was built. The initiates would start the exam by entering through a hole at the back of the temple, through this hole they would pass through the pool with the crocodiles and try to get out of the front of the temple. If they went up the steps at the top of the pool with the crocodiles, they failed the exam. If they came out from the back of the crocodile pool, from the end of the temple, they passed the exam. Initiates who failed the exam would meditate for a long time and then take the exam again.
