Sobek
was depicted as a crocodile.
He was the Egyptian god of the Nile which was believed
to have been created from his sweat.
As
Sobek possessed the strength and nature of a crocodile,
which the Egyptians both feared and respected, he became
a symbol of the Pharaoh's power.
The
Nile, which was full of crocodiles, was important to
the livelihood of the Egyptians.
It
therefore made good sense to have a god like Sobek who
could appease these ferocious beasts.
