Sobek was among the oldest deities named in the texts inscribed on the walls of tombs. He was the lord of the crocodiles and was depicted with a crocodile head. Some believed that Sobek was the creator of the Nile River. Sobek (also known as Sebek, Sebek-Ra, Sobeq, Suchos, Sobki, and Soknopais) was the ancient god of crocodiles. He is first mentioned in the Pyramid Texts and his worship continued until the Roman period.
Some sects believed that Sobek was the creator of the world who arose from the “Dark Water” and created order in the universe. Sobek was a god of the Nile who brought fertility to the land.
