Discover the Legacy of Egypt’s Crocodile God
In Egyptian mythology, Sobek was an ancient deity with a complex and fluid nature. Some believe he created the world and order in the universe, while others say he also occasionally aligns himself with the forces of chaos. Instantly recognizable as a man with the head of a crocodile, it should come as no surprise that he gave birth to the Nile River and is the lord of crocodiles. As Nile crocodiles were a constant threat to the ancient Egyptians, offering prayers and sacrifices to Sobek were as much about appeasing this deity as it was to placate the ferocious reptiles lurking near the river-nourished fields. And, as the god of fertility, Sobek is also revered for his role in ensuring the fruitfulness of people and crops.
