Khnum |
A straight-horned, ram-headed god who is often
depicted
creating humans on his
potter's wheel,
Khnum emerged from two
caverns in the subterranean world in the
ocean of Nun.
He was the god of the First
Cataract
of the Nile in Upper Egypt and controlled fertility by sending half
the waters of the river to the south and half to the north.
