| |  | EGYPTIAN GIFTS | Home » » Sobek Egyptian God of Water Statue - Large | | | | | | | Description: | | The name Sobek means crocodile. He was a crocodile god much favored by the kings of the twelfth and thirteenth dynasties. Many of the rulers of this period chose to bear names such as Sobek-Hotep, which means ìSobek is mercifulî. His main place of worship was in the Nome of Faiyum of which he was the patron deity. His temple there had a holy lake where a sacred crocodile named Pet-Sobek ìhe who belongs to Sobekî was kept. He was also worshiped at Kom Ombo, where he replaced Seth in a triad of gods, becoming the husband of Hathor and the father of Khonsu. He had associations with the god Horus and a further identification with Ra led to a form of the crocodile with the solar disk on his head. He was usually represented as either a crocodile or a man with a crocodileís head. Sobek was understandably a god of the water, the Nile river issued from his sweat. He ìmade the herbage greenî and therefore took on a somewhat Osiris-like character. | | | Features: | |
