Egyptian amulet of the god Khnum. An ancient Egyptian amulet. Brilliantly made in Egypt

Khnum or Gnome Xnum, in the ancient Egyptian religion, a god who was depicted in the form of a ram, or a man with a ram's head and two horns (perhaps the name sheep was derived from him). According to the ancient Egyptian belief, Khnum carried out the process of material creation of man from the silt of the Nile on a pottery wheel. Some accounts say that he formed young children from the silt of the Nile available at Aswan and placed them in their mothers' wombs. He was worshiped in different places in Egypt, such as Aswan, Esna, and Memphis (Memphis), as the god who brought the Nile to establish life on its banks.

Its history dates back to the era of the Old Kingdom, where it was known in the religion of the ancient Egyptians as “Nab-Qebho”, meaning the master of water. He was also worshiped during the era of the New Kingdom, and Elephantine was the center of his worship.

During the Middle Kingdom, the reverence for Khnum appears as the one who brings the flood of the Nile and the silt and fertility it carries to the land. These inscriptions were drawn on the new temple of Satis, as the text did not mention the tasks of Khnum that he assumed in the past. With the coming of the Nineteenth Egyptian Dynasty during the New Kingdom, Khnum assumed the title of Nab-Abu, meaning Master of Elephantine. Before that, it was the goddess Satis who bore the title "Lady Elephantine".
