ancient Egyptian god of fertility, associated with water and with procreation. Khnum was worshipped from the 1st dynasty (c. 2925-2775 bce) into the early centuries ce. He was represented as a ram with horizontal twisting horns or as a man with a ram's head. Khnum was believed to have created humankind from clay like a potter; this scene, with him using a potter's wheel, was depicted in later times. The god's first main cult centre was Herwer, near Al-Ashmūnayn in Middle Egypt. From the New Kingdom (1539-1075 bce) on, however, he was the god of the island of Elephantine, near present-day Aswān, and was known as the lord of the surrounding First Cataract of the Nile River. At Elephantine he formed a triad of deities with the goddesses Satis and Anukis. Khnum also had an important cult at Esna, south of Thebes.

Who married the Egyptian goddess Heket?

Heqet was married to the god Khnum. That made sense to the Egyptians since Heqet was the goddess of human and Nile fertility and childbirth, and Khnum was the god of the source of the Nile and the 'creator of babies'. Khnum was however also sometimes romantically connected to the goddess Satet, yet another Nile deity.
