Seeking Sobek
For millions of years, crocodiles washed into the lives of Egyptians during the Nile s annual flood, striking fear, awe and death. But, as the population of man grew along the river, the Lord of the Nile slowly disappeared. Now that there are reports that crocodiles are making a return in the south of Egypt, Richard Bangs hopes to catch a glimpse of Sobek.
