Simplify the following text for a Grade 6 native English-speaking person.
Original: Egyptians who worked or traveled on the Nile hoped that if they prayed to Sobek , the crocodile god , he would protect them from being attacked by crocodiles . The god Sobek , which was depicted as a crocodile or a man with the head of a crocodile was a powerful and frightening deity ; in some Egyptian creation myths , it was Sobek who first came out of the waters of chaos to create the world .
Simplified: Sobek was seen as a crocodile headed man or very rarely a plain crocodile .
