Only dual temple. They built it to worship Seb the crocodile god so the crocs would stop attacking them and their animals. Obviously it didn't work so the added to it a temple for Horus the god of protection. The story goes that Horus and Seb fought so Horus fled north and his followers went too. This temple has two axes and two sanctuaries, one for each god.
