Beschreibung
Before myth, there was the river-and within it, something watching.
Sobek: Crocodile God of the Nile plunges into the raw, untamed heart of ancient Egypt, where survival depended on forces no one could control. Emerging from the shadowed waters of the Nile, Sobek was not a distant deity of abstraction, but a living presence-feared, respected, and deeply woven into the rhythms of life and death. This book reveals the crocodile god as he truly was: a being of immense power, embodying both destruction and fertility, terror and protection, chaos and renewal.
Through archaeology, ancient texts, and the landscapes that shaped belief, Sobek rises as a god of kingship, strength, and primal force-one who stood at the boundary between safety and danger, and who ruled the most unpredictable element of Egyptian existence. This is not just the story of a god, but of a civilization that learned to live with power, to negotiate with it, and ultimately to sanctify it.
