Sobek is a dark being with the head of a crocodile and a headdress of feathers and a sun-disk from Ancient Egypt...
There are conflicting accounts of the nature of Sobek.
Somebelieve he was evil and destruction, while others say he wasa repairer of the evil Set had done.
According to this view,Sobek brings together elements that has been separatedby evil.
The Pyramid Texts and The Book of the Dead both cite Sobek's assistance of the deceased.
He restores the deceased's eyes and mouth, protects him/her from Setand leads them to 'heaven'.
Some believe that Sobek had a four-fold nature, in that he represented the four elemental gods:
Ra - Fire
Shu - Air
Geb - Earth
Osiris - Water

He was paired with a number of goddesses in different locations, most notably Hathor, Renenutet, Heqet and Taweret, and was sometimes referred to as the father of Khonsu, Horus or Khnum....
Sobek was connected with the Nile, and protected the king. Live crocodiles were kept in pools at temples built to honour Sobek.
