Episode 84 dives into the cult of Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of the Nile, and the unique dual temple of Kom Ombo in southern Egypt. Lucas and Luna explore how Sobek worship began in the Faiyum during the Old Kingdom, evolved through the Middle Kingdom, and reached a peak under Ptolemaic and Roman rule. They discuss the sacred crocodile breeding, the discovery of hundreds of mummified crocodiles, and the temple's unusual symmetrical design honoring both Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. The episode also covers Sobek's role in creation myths, his association with pharaohs like Amenemhat III, and the startling practices at Crocodilopolis. The conversation weaves in archaeological finds, ancient accounts from Herodotus and Strabo, and the practical reasons behind the cult's endurance. A surprising link emerges between crocodile worship and water management in the Faiyum's irrigation system, connecting religion to daily survival on the Nile. #Sobek #KomOmbo #CrocodileCult #AncientEgypt #PtolemaicEgypt #Haroeris #Faiyum #Crocodilopolis #AmenemhatIII #Herodotus #Strabo #NileGods #MummifiedCrocodiles #EgyptianReligion #TempleArchitecture #WaterManagement #History #FexingoHistory Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
