As of 2008, the oldest known farming village was found in Egypt. The site is over 7,000 years old and raised sheep, goats, pigs, wheat, and barley. The site is fifty miles west of Cairo. Faiyum Oasis is the oldest known village. This is located in Egypt.
The god Sebek or Sobek (hieroglyphs: sbk) was often depicted in the form of a crocodile or a man with the head of a crocodile and wearing a horns-and-feathers crown.His centres of worship were mainly at the Faiyum and el-Mahamid-el-Qibly, but also at Gebelein, Esna and Kom Ombo (all these are modern place names, not the names used in ancient times).
a crocodile was treated badly in ancient Egypt they were killedAnswerThey would also have been greatly feared and respected by the Egyptians. They were later worshipped in the Faiyum and even kept as sacred pets within the temples where they would have been fed meat and wine by the priests of Sobek.
It is important because its important!

The population of Faiyum is 316,772.
Egypt
The people of ancient Egypt worshiped Sobek in order to appease him, the crocodiles, and to insure the fertility of their people and crops. Sobek was called the Lord of Faiyum, and was considered the god who controlled the waters. The Nile was very important to the people of Egypt.
It's in Middle Egypt, about 100 km south of Cairo. And west of the Nile River.
His death is unknown. According to legend, he was killed in Faiyum by either wild dogs, Nile crocodiles, or by a hippopotamus. He died at age 63, around 3030 BC.
It is something in Ancient Egypt and has to do with among other things fossil evidene of a Snake 52 feet long, larger than any documented present-day species. I cannot see any paralells with Superman comics.
You may be thinking of the oasis now known as the Faiyum (an Arabic name), which the ancient Egyptians called She-resy, meaning the Southern Lake.The Faiyum is a large, fertile depression about 65 kilometres across with a lake in the north-west. This lake was anciently five times larger than it is today and there would have been trees, crocodiles and birds - the crocodile god Sebek was the chief deity in the area.The English word "oasis" derives (via Greek) from the ancient Egyptian word wHAt, which may have been pronounced something like "owah'at".
The Middle Kingdom (1975-1640 BCE) was founded by Mentuhotep II. During the Middle Kingdom upper and lower Egypt were united and Thebes became the capital city of the Pharaohs. During this period the Egyptians also developed block style artwork, they irrigated Faiyum, increased harvests and told stories through writing.
