replies: text: The statue isn't "blatantly" Sobek... it might be, it might not be. It also looks an awful lot like Taweret, who is often shown a hippopotamus head with crocodile teeth. We have to wait until we know for sure before adding that reference on here. Cheers! --Managerpants (talk) 14:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I don't think the ABC recap is an official source to determine it's Taweret, but it certainly goes towards showing the identity of the statue is in doubt. Until there's a definite source to identify it as Sobek, it should be left out as unsourced original research. Dayewalker (talk) 05:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Sobek is one of the Egyptian Mythology's most ambiguous deity, given his varying role (and allegiance within the tales) throughout the Egyptian region and history. In respond to the role that I placed within the Infobox, perhaps I should have written "God of the River, Warriors and Fertility - given the fact that Sobek is more of an embodiment of the Fighting Strength of the Pharaoh and his soldiers, rather than being a god who leads the armies into war itself (referring to deities like Sekhmet or Wepwawet etc...). 203.87.203.190 (talk) 14:08, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Hey! I was confused with the wording used for this sentence and was wondering why its not in two separate sentences."He is associated with the Nile crocodile or the West African crocodile and is represented either in its form or as a human with a crocodile head."  I feel that its two different topics mushed in one sentence. I just wondered if anyone else agreed that the first paragraph would flow better if it was worded more like,"His anthropomorphic form depicts his head to be that of a crocodile. Some speculate that it may be an early depiction of a Nile crocodile or the West African crocodile." Of course this is just a suggestion, and I could easily be wrong.

message: I’m thinking that because Sobek is worshipped in Kemetic circles, the tense of this article when referring to Sobek should be present instead of past? “Sobek IS a god of...” etc. 2601:246:5C80:9490:70:B1CB:1D5:4C63 (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
