At Elephantine, he was worshipped alongside Anuket & Satis as the guardian of the source of the Nile River. His significance led to early theophoric names of him, for children, such as Khnum-Khufwy “Khnum is my Protector”, the full name of Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Khnum has also been related to the deity Min. Khnum is sometimes depicted as a crocodile-headed god. Nebt-uu & Menhit are Khnum’s principal consorts & Heka is his eldest son & successor. Both Khnum & Neith are referred to as creator deities in the texts at Esna. Khnum is sometimes referred to as the “father of the fathers” & Neith as the “mother of the mothers”. They later become the parents of Ra, who is also referred to as Khnum-Re. Statue Of Khnum God Potters Source The Nil Egyptian Art Green Stone Made in Egypt
