Anuket (Anqet, Greek: Anukis), in ancient Egyptian mythology, originally originated in Egypt where the Nile begins, she is the incarnation of the Nile and the goddess of the Nile, people called her "the nourishment of the fields".
In addition, Anuket is also the goddess of fertility, who is considered to protect women during childbirth.
Most importantly, the ancients believed she was the protector of cataracts in the lower Nile. Cataracts are on the river between Khartoum and Aswan, and Nile cataracts can be very dangerous. So traders and sailors left inscriptions on the rocks to ensure safe return to Egypt under divine protection when crossing cataracts.
