Sobek the Powerful-Crocodile God of the Nile

 

Sobek the Powerful, Egyptian Crocodile God of the Nile-Leader of Armies. One of the greatest and oldest of the Ancient Egyptian gods, Sobek was worshiped until Christianity replaced the old gods during the later Roman and early Eastern Roman Empires.

As ruler of the Nile River, he was in control of the floods that brought fertile soils to grow the crops that made Egypt powerful. His fearful nature, as a crocodile, was balanced by the protection he provided from evil, and evil magic users.
