Wall relief of the goddess Tefnut in the Kom Ombo temple (Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BCE)

In ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, Tefnut (also spelled Tefenet, from the hieroglyphic phonograms t-f-n-t) was the goddess of rainfall; her name translates to something like ‘She of moisture’. She is depicted here with a lion’s head, crowned with the solar disk and uraeus serpent.

This relief is often erroneously identified as Sekhmet, a more well-known lion-headed goddess.

Relief of Sobek

Detail of a bas relief depicting the crocodile headed god Sobek at Temple of Kom Ombo. One of the most prominent deities associated with crocodiles was Sobek, he was worshipped as a protective deity, particularly in areas where crocodiles were prevalent.

During the Ptolemaic Period in ancient Egypt, the worship of Sobek continued, although there were some changes in religious practices and beliefs. The Ptolemaic Dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 305 BC to 30 BC, was of Greek Macedonian origin and brought their own religious traditions and deities to Egypt. However, they also adopted and incorporated many aspects of Egyptian religion, including the worship of Sobek.

Crocodiles held significant cultural and religious importance in ancient Egypt. They were associated with the Nile River, which was a vital source of life and fertility for the Egyptians. Crocodiles were seen as powerful and dangerous creatures, and their behavior and characteristics were often attributed to various deities.
