Lake Nasser in the south of Egypt is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. Before the creation of Lake Nasser, crocodiles were on the verge of disappearing in Egypt, a country where the predatory reptile was venerated in ancient times.

Egyptologist Salima Ikram narrates the folklores of crocodiles in Ancient Egypt; why crocodiles became venerated along the banks of the Nile River, the birth of the crocodile cult which went on to mummify the reptile, and how its body was used medicinally.
