In the religion of ancient Egypt, Khnum was a god who was portrayed as a ram or as a man with two horns and a ram's head. In the belief of the ancient Egyptians, Khnum used a potter's wheel to physically create humanity from the muck of the Nile. The god who brought the Nile to create life on its banks, he was revered in Aswan, Memphis, and Esna, among other places in Egypt.
Informations About God Khnum
Only history can unveil the secrets and reveal many mythological stories, of which the god Khnum had a share in the pottery during the time of the Pharaohs. There are many stories about this god creating humans through his pottery wheel, and forming young children from the Nile silt available at Aswan and placing them in their mothers’ wombs.
Khnum has become, over the years, one of the most important symbols of pottery in the world, or more precisely, he gave pottery its first kiss of life. Some considered him the god of pottery, and his name was derived from the verb “Khnem” meaning to create. He worshipped with his two wives, "Satet and Anqet," at the Philae Temple, which is adjacent to the waterfall region where he spent much of his time.
It is known that pottery has been in circulation since ancient times. The Pharaohs used it in making pottery vessels, and then their descendants inherited it. Today, the area of ancient Egypt, specifically Fustat, is very famous for it. Khnum, the god, appeared in the form of a man with a ram's head and double horns. He was known as the creator of living beings, because he created man from the "clay of the Nile" and took on secondary functions as a guardian of the sources of the Nile.
He was also called the "potter" who forms the egg from which all life emerges. He became especially famous in the texts found in the Temple of Ethna, which date back to the first century AD. Since this period, the ancient Egyptians considered Khnum the god of pottery.
On the western bank of the Nile, about 100 metres from the riverbed, lies the Temple of Khnum, which is perpendicular to one axis. The floor of the temple is about 9 metres below the level of the modern land of the city of Ethna, and is descended by a modern staircase.
