Petsuchos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Petsuchos was the name given by the Egyptians to the live crocodile at Crocodilopolis in Ancient Egypt, which was worshipped as a manifestation of the Egyptian god Sobek. They were worshipped as gods, and were addorned with jewels and gold. When the Petsuchos died, it was replaced by another. Their carcasses were mummified, like pharaohs and high priests. in the modern fantasy, Petsuchos are portrayed to shoot sun beams from disks on their heads, such as in the computer game Age of Mythology.
