Ten mummified crocodiles, once offered as a sacrifice to Sobek the crocodile-headed god, have been put under the microscope by a team of archaeologists.
Although mummified animals such as crocodiles are commonly found at archaeological sites in Egypt, mummified crocodiles are often not examined thoroughly, according to researchers.
Crocodiles were sacrificed to act as intermediaries between humans and the ancient Egyptian deity Sobek, a god associated with fertility and often depicted as a crocodile.
