Sometime before 48 BCE, a cult of Sobek arose in Krokodilopolis, but it was soon corrupted. The cult fed civilians to crocodiles in secret 'parties' held by the Embalmer, called Sobek's Secret Feasts[1], they had the tame crocodiles at the Temple of Sobek, especially the great albino Petsuchos, poisoned by Melina the Hibiscus[2], and even slaughtered crocodiles and used their badly mummified corpses to smuggle gold and valuables.[3] At the center of all these schemes was Sehetep. In due course, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa discovered the cult, and ended its practices, one after the other. Eventually, this led Bayek to Sehetep, and he killed the High Priest.[4]
