Jnum
Sign in to savedios egipcio de la creación y las aguas
Khnum was an ancient Egyptian god first worshipped in Upper Egypt who was believed to control the annual flooding of the Nile River and create human bodies from clay on a potter's wheel. He mattered to ancient Egyptians because the Nile's yearly floods—which brought fertile silt and life-giving water—were essential to their survival, making Khnum a deity responsible for both the river's vital inundation and human life itself.
