“He knots the flow of blood to the bones,
Forms in his workshop his handiwork,
Gives the Breath of Life to everything.
Without pause the wheel turns every day." - Hymn to Khnum.

An ancient creator and water god, the guardian of the source of the Nile. Khnum was closely associated with the annual flooding of the Nile - he was thought of as the god who poured out the river. The Egyptian gods were offered symbols of their power - the king offered Khnum libations of water, and he in turn ensured that the Nile flowed.

Khnum was thought to form babies out of clay on his potter’s wheel, placing them into their mother’s bodies. His wheel was spun to remake the cosmos every morning. The patron of potters, Khnum was said to protect craftsmen. Khnum was thought to create the sun boat which Ra sailed upon. Hymns sung at his festivals praised the "Lord of the Wheel" as the one "who fashioned gods and men."

Khnum was sometimes considered to be the son of Sobek, and the husband of Neith or Heket. On some occasions he was thought to have been created by Ptah.
