Brand.Pr Nefrt Egypt Made in Egypt Khnum or Xnum, in ancient Egyptian religion, was a deity who was depicted in the form of a ram, or a man with a ram’s head & two horns (the name of the sheep may be derived from it). According to the ancient Egyptian belief, Khnum carried out the process of material creation of man from the Nile silt on a potter’s wheel. Some accounts say that he used to form young children from the Nile silt available at Aswan & put them in their mothers’ wombs. He was worshiped in various places in Egypt such as Aswan, Esna & Memphis (Memphis) as the god who brought the Nile to establish life on its banks. It dates back to the era of the Old Kingdom, where it was known in the religion of the ancient Egyptians as “Neb-Qabho”, meaning the master of the waters. He was also worshiped during the era of the New Kingdom, & Elephantine was the center of his worship. During the Middle Kingdom, a veneration of Khnum appears as the one who brings the flood of the Nile & the silt & fertility of the land that it carries. Those inscriptions were drawn on the new temple of Satis, where the text did not mention Khnum’s tasks that it occupied in the past. With the advent of the nineteenth Egyptian dynasty during the modern state, Khnum took the title of Neb-Abu, meaning the lord of Elephantine. Before that, it was the goddess Satis who bore the title “Lady Elephantine”. Statue Of The God Khnum. Khnum Statue. Distinguished Made By Hand. in Egypt
