The Egyptian crocodile god Sobek was a Dragon with a curious mythical lineage in humankind. The patron of the Dragon Dynasties was the inspiration for anointing the chosen with messeh, from which comes the word messiah for 'anointed one', crocodile fat mixed with fragrant oils and intoxicants.
The ancient Egyptian portion of this old myth in modern clothes includes the legend of the Labyrinth at Hawara, the priest-king Ankh-fn-khonsu, and the Pharaoh Queen, Sobekneferu, meaning "the beauty of Sobek."
The Royal Court of the Dragon was founded by the priests of Mendes in about 2200 BC and was subsequently ratified by the 12th dynasty Queen Sobeknefru.
This sovereign and priestly Order passed from Egypt to the Kings of Jerusalem; to the Black Sea Princes of Scythia (Princess Milouziana of the Scythians) and into the Balkans - notably to the Royal House of Hungary, whose King Sigismund reconstituted the Court just 600 years ago. Sigismund’s assumed descent from Melusine.
Her ancestry actually can be traced back to the Scythian Dragon Princess Scota, Queen Sobekh Nefru and the Egyptian Cult of the Dragon.
We can consider modern revivals of the Dragon Court a sort of personal mythology lived out loud, now gone global, based on perhaps a little truth and a lot of literalism. Descent from antiquity is considered pseudo-history for genealogists, but for others that is a way of suggesting a mythical reality, a psychic or imaginal dreaming out loud.
The Egyptians believed that dreams could be used to get advice or prophecies from the gods, or for healing. Usually a person would sleep in the grounds of a temple, after praying to the god for help.
The Egyptians so revered crocodiles, they named a town Crocodilopolis. There these creatures were worshiped and adorned with bedazzling gold and jewels. The crocodile god, Sobek, symbolized ultimate power, protection, and fertility to the ancient Egyptians. Sobek was one among several gods responsible for weighing the souls of the dead.
In this light, we can't overlook the symbolism of discernment, judgment, authority and guidance in conjunction with the crocodile and the role of Sobek in ancient Egypt. Khnum was also quite closely associated with Sobek (the crocodile god) at both Elephantine and Essna, and with Amun, another ram-headed creator god.
Crocodile meaning is their prehistoric status. These creatures are ancient, and have evolved very little over their reign beginning over 50 million years ago. These creatures represent a deep, abiding connection with the Mother (Nature), and perhaps that's the most profound wisdom they have to share.
Sobekneferu
She was the daughter of Pharaoh Amenemhat III. Manetho states she also was the sister of Amenemhat IV, but this claim is unproven. Sobekneferu had an older sister named Nefruptah who may have been the intended heir. Neferuptah's name was enclosed in a cartouche and she had her own pyramid at Hawara. Neferuptah died at an early age however.
Sobekneferu is the first known female ruler of Egypt, although Nitocris may have ruled in the Sixth Dynasty, and there are five other women who are believed to have ruled as early as the First Dynasty.
Amenemhat IV most likely died without a male heir; consequently, Amenemhat III's daughter Sobekneferu assumed the throne. According to the Turin Canon, she ruled for 3 years, 10 months, and 24 days[3] in the late 19th century BC.
She died without heirs and the end of her reign concluded Egypt's brilliant Twelfth Dynasty and the Golden Age of the Middle Kingdom as it inaugurated the much weaker Thirteenth Dynasty.
Few monuments have been discovered for her, although many of her (headless) statues have been preserved including the base of a representation of a king's royal daughter that was discovered in Gezer and bears her name.[4] It is known that she made additions to the funerary complex of Amenemhat III at Hawara (called a labyrinth by Herodotus) and also built structures at Herakleopolis Magna.
A fine cylinder seal bearing her name and royal titulary is today located in the British Museum.[5] A Nile graffito, at the Nubian fortress of Kumma records the Nile inundation height of 1.83 meters in Year 3 of her reign.[6] Her monumental works consistently associate her with Amenemhat III rather than Amenemhat IV, supporting the theory that she was Amenemhat III's royal daughter and was perhaps only a stepsister of Amenemhat IV.[4] The Danish Egyptologist, Kim Ryholt, notes that the contemporary sources from her reign show that Sobekneferu never adopted the title of "Queen" or King's sister"--only 'King's Daughter'--which supports this hypothesis.[4]
Her tomb has not been identified positively, although she may have been interred in a pyramid complex in Mazghuna that lacks inscriptions, immediately north of a similar complex ascribed to Amenemhat IV. A place called Sekhem-Neferu is mentioned in a papyrus found at Harageh. This might be the name of her pyramid.

Crocodiles and alligators appear in many ancient myths and legends. Crocodile mythologies are part of the Australian Aborigines’ culture – the crocodile was the selfish keeper of fire until the Rainbow Bird stole it from him while his back was turned. The crocodile also features in several African myths where typically, it appears as kings or gods or simply symbolising regality and kingship. The reason crocodiles are often held in such high regards stems from the fact that they are able to walk on land and swim in water – thus, they exist in two realms, rather than one. Kings were similarly regarded as belonging to two separate realms, as it was assumed that they came to people via ‘divine right’. The most widely known crocodile god is Sobek – the ancient Egyptian god with the head of a crocodile. Crocodiles were worshipped in ancient Egypt because of their great power and due to the belief that if they were appeased, any encounter on the Nile would result in death. Sobek was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities. Sobek is associated with various Egyptian creation myths – some believe that he climbed out of primordial chaos and laid eggs from which the earth sprang. The overall theme in these ancient mythologies appears to involve power; the ability to simultaneously inhabit two realms; royalty; and creation. If the dreamer relates positively to crocodiles and is unharmed in the dream or able to control the creature, they typically this would suggest personal power symbols. Given that crocodiles are associated with the Shadow archetype, if the dreamer has a positive encounter with a crocodile, this may be interpreted as the dreamer making good progress in integrating his own Shadow. In some cultures, the crocodile – as a symbol of fertility – is perceived as a feminine theme, referring to the Great Mother. Crocodiles are good, nurturing and fiercely protective mothers - they help the eggs to hatch, then gently carry them to the water. The Egyptian goddess, Tawret, had the tail of a crocodile and frightened spirits who may mean to harm a pregnant woman or child. She also helped spirits ‘re-birth’ into the afterlife.
Sobek & Horus: Reconciliation/Forgiveness/Understanding
Sobek and Horus represent two powerful opposing psychic forces found in all human beings—the old and the new parts of each of us. The crocodile god, Sobek, is associated with the reptilian brain, the primitive non-verbal part of the brain that ensures our physical survival at the level of stimulus and response. The reptilian brain holds the most ancient evolutionary patterns from which we have evolved. It has kept us protected, alive, and growing forward. In opposition to Sobek, Horus is associated with the neo cortex, which serves as the center of higher mental functions for humans. The neo cortex is also associated with our higher chakras and, among other things, relates to our connection with spirit. To create balance in our lives, Sobek and Horus have come into this work as adversarial allies. It is their task to create a harmonious union within our psyches.
Sobek is an ancient creator god who is linked with both Ra and Horus, and who shares a temple with Horus at Kom Ombo. Throughout the long history of Egypt, his representation has changed. During the Old Kingdom Sobek was revered as a god of the Nile and the floods, bringing fertility, while at the same time feared as a god of destruction. From the Middle Kingdom onward he was closely associated with Ra (the sun god) and during Greco-Roman times Hathor (goddess of reconciliation) was considered to be his consort and Khonsu (the moon god) their child.
It is probable that some form of the falcon god Horus was venerated as far back as pre-dynastic times when rulers were called Followers of Horus. It would be impossible to cover but a fraction of his attributes here. Horus is considered twice born, once of Nut and Geb, and again as the son of Isis and Osiris, conceived after Osiris’s death through the love and magic of Isis. As a young prince he was groomed and trained to inherit the royal leadership of his father. His primary image is as falcon or hawk and his primary identification is with the sky and the sun. Yet there are leonine images, as well, and by the New Kingdom he was associated with the Great Sphinx and with many other gods that through time assimilated his power. His child form was usually anthropomorphic and thousands of amulets were created depicting the image of Isis suckling the young Horus on her lap. The story of his conception, birth, development, struggles for sovereignty, and eventual and continuing reign as the ruler of the gods makes Horus one of the most prominent gods of Egypt. Much of his mythic battle with Set is described on the walls of his temple at Edfu.
The Hawara labyrinth in Egypt was decorated with reliefs of the Dragon god Sobek. The womb temple is a place for rebirth. Sobek is also called the Dream Healer
Alchemical philosophy is an intrinsic part of Hermetic thought, from the land of Khem (Egypt). Tuthmosis III of Egypt, who reigned about 1450 BC, maintained a hermetic schoolhe originally inherited -- the Royal Court of the Dragon.
The Egyptian priest-prince Ankhfn Khonsu (2170 BC) was a Dragon Court patron.
Founded by the priests of Mendes in about 2200 BC,it was subsequently revived by the 12th dynasty Queen Sobeknefru (or Sobekh Nefru) in 1785 B.C. The Royal Court Of The Dragon provided an institution for the pursuit of the work of the Dragon of Al-Khem otherwise known as Thoth or Hermes.
From Al-Khem we have Alchemy, The Great Work of The Dragon, with its classic texts, The Emerald Tablets and The Pymander.
The Dragon bloodline has been elsewhere described as the “Grail bloodline”, and the Dragon kings are the same as the popularly-known “Grail kings”, which the Merovingians were among. The Dragon Court can first be identified in Egypt under the patronage of the priest-prince Ankhfn Khonsu at about 2170 BC.
It was subsequently established more formally as a pharaonic institution by the twelfth dynasty Queen Sobekh Nefru in 1785 BC. The Court was re-formed in 1408 by Emperor Sigismund von Luxemburg, King of Hungary, later to become Holy Roman Emperor in 1433. The Dragon kings whom the court has supported have rightfully ruled many nations and empires throughout history. In the case of England, the last legitimate Dragon monarch was Richard III.
Amenemhat IV, or Amenemhet IV was Pharaoh of Egypt, likely ruling between ca. 1815 BC and ca. 1806 BC. He served first as the junior coregent of Amenemhat III and completed the latter's temple at Medinet Maadi, which is "the only intact temple still existing from the Middle Kingdom" according to Zahi Hawass, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA).
The temple's foundations, administrative buildings, granaries and residences were recently uncovered by an Egyptian archaeological expedition in early 2006. Amenemhat IV likely also built a temple in the northeastern Fayum at Qasr el-Sagha.
The Turin Canon papyrus records a reign of 9 Years 3 months and 27 days for Amenemhat IV. He served the first year of his reign as the junior co-regent to his powerful predecessor, Amenemhat III, according to a rock graffito in Nubia. His short reign was relatively peaceful and uneventful; several dated expeditions were recorded at the Serabit el-Khadim mines in the Sinai. It was after his death that the gradual decline of the Middle Kingdom is thought to have begun.
Amenemhat died without a male heir, though it is possible that the two first rulers of the next dynasty, Sobekhotep I and Sonbef were his sons. He was succeeded by his half-sister (or perhaps his aunt) Sobeknefru, who became the first woman in about 1500 years to rule Egypt. He may have been Sobeknefru's spouse but no historical evidence currently substantiates this theory.
Sobekneferu (sometimes written "Neferusobek") was an Egyptian pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty.
Her name meant "the beauty of Sobek." She was the daughter of Pharaoh Amenemhat III. Manetho states she also was the sister of Amenemhat IV, but this claim is unproven. Sobekneferu had an older sister named Nefruptah who may have been the intended heir.

And the first King of the Messianic Dragon succession was the biblical 'C(Kain)', head of the Sumerian House of Kish.
"On recognizing this, one can immediately see the first anomaly in the tradition of the Genesis story, for the historical line from David to Jesus was not from Adam and Eve's son, Seth, at all.
It was from Eve's son Cain, whose recorded successors (although given little space in the Old Testament) were the first great Kings (or Kains) of Mesopotamia and Egypt.
According to the Dragon tradition, the importance of Cain was that he was directly produced by Enki [Satan] and Ava [Eve], so his blood was three quarters Anunnaki. His half brothers Hevel and Satanael (better known as Abel and Seth) were less than half Anunnaki, being the offspring of Ateba and Ava (Adam and Eve).
We can now progress our story by considering the oldest Grant of Arms in sovereign history - the Grant of Arms which denoted the Messianic Dragon Bloodline for all time. The Sumerians referred to this insignia as the Gra-al... From biblical history, we know it better as the 'Mark of Cain'." Laurence Gardner
The Dragon King was known as the King of Kings and his symbol, Draco, represented his succession through the Egyptian pharaohs, the Egyptian Therapeutae, the Qumran Essenes to the Merovingian kings of Europe.
"The kings of the early succession (who reigned in Sumer and Egypt before becoming kings of Israel) were anointed upon coronation with the fat of the Dragon (the sacred crocodile).
This noble beast was referred to in Egypt as the Messeh (from which derived the Hebrew verb 'to anoint'), and the kings of this dynastic succession were always referred to as 'Dragons', or 'Messiahs' (meaning 'Anointed Ones').
In times of battle, when the armies of different kingdoms were conjoined, an overall leader was chosen and he was called the 'Great Dragon' (the 'King of Kings') - or, as we better know the name in its old Celtic form, the 'Pendragon'.
In pictorial representation, the Messianic Dragon was, in essence, a large-jawed serpent with four legs, very much like a crocodile or a monitor. This was the Sacred Messeh whose name was 'Draco.'
Draco was a divine emblem of the Egyptian pharaohs, a symbol of the Egyptian Therapeutate, of the Essenes of Qumran, and was the Bistea Neptunis (the sea serpent) of the descendant Merovingian Fisher-Kings in Europe." — Laurence Gardner

He writes:
‘It is also reckoned that the subsequent culture of the region, phonetically called Sumerian (pronounced ‘Shumerian’) was actually Sidhemurian (Shee-murian). This case is now considerable since the early Ring Lords of Scythia , the Tuatha De Danaan king tribe were actually called the ‘Sumaire’.'

1361 BC,: Prince Ankh-fn-khonsu firrst established the Dragon Court in our lineage, to the reign of the Pharaonic Queen Sobekh Nefru. Wife of Pharaoh Amenhemet IV, Sobekh Nefru reigned during the age of the Dragon God Sobekh, the custodian and protector of the blood royal. She built the labyrinthine temple in his honour at Khayyum, a structure which was later copied by the Minoans of Crete. Within the temple complex Sobekh Nefru ratied and re-established the Dragon Court of Prince Ankh-fn-Khonsu and the Dragon Court and her ancient genetic, Anunnaki dragon legacy descended to her ancestral daughter Merytaten, granddaughter of Queen Nefertiti
Named after the crocodile God Sobek, Sobeknefru, whose name means ‘she who shows the beauty of Sobek’, succeeded her brother to the throne of Egypt. At the time she came to power, the cult of Sobek had prominence in Egyptian society and following her example many of the pharaohs of the 13th Dynasty felt it incumbent to take the name Sobek. Who was this God?
Sobek was associated with the Nile crocodile and is either represented in its reptile form or as a human with a crocodile head. Sobek was also associated with power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a fiercely protective deity, which was invoked particularly for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile River. He gained ascendance through the myth that linked him to Isis and Osiris, when he helped the Goddess retrieve her husband’s dismembered body parts.

His cult was established in Faiyum Region, with its capital Sheddet (translated Crocodilopolis) devoted to the care and worship of the god, and of the crocodiles raised in the temple as reincarnations of the deity.
One of the most important benefactors the cult of Sobek had was Amenemhat III, Sobeknefru’s father. He had taken a particular interest in Faiyum and in Sobek and so the area blossomed with many new building projects. Sobeknefru would have grown up around the priesthood of the Deity and perhaps Sobek was her personal favourite of the pantheon. When her brother died, the priesthood of Sobek backed her claim to the throne, as Amenemhat IV had no sons.

What we know from Sobeknefru’s reign is that she extended the labyrinth that her father had begun in the Faiyum Oasis—this labyrinth was used as a model for the one in Crete, hinting that perhaps there was an initiation ceremony in both countries that was turned into myth later.
Unfortunately, not much else is known about her reign as there is little evidence, unlike Hatshepsut. Archaeologists have not found her tomb (though a pyramid in Dashur may be hers) and so all we have are five statues, several beads, scarabs and seals bearing her name. Other evidence comes in the form of Manetho's text; in the Turin Canon, the Karnak, Turin and Sakkara king lists and a Nile inundation record. She is listed at the mortuary Temple of her father, Amenemhat III which she completed. Surprisingly (or not) her name appears many times at the temple, whereas her brother’s name is absent.

Sobeknefereu was the first known female Pharaoh for which there is confirmed proof, and she is known to have had a prosperous, though brief, reign. Some have claimed that she is the Egyptian Princess who rescued Moses and that he was Amenemhat IV, forced to flee when he killed the Egyptian. When he left and Amenemhat III died, she would have taken the throne. Considering her father’s patronage of the cult of Sobek and the care of the holy crocodiles, it is reasonable to suggest that is why the babies were given to them as a method of population control.
It may be surprising that her influence is found in certain families who have claimed descent from her, namely: the Dragon (or Sacred Crocodile) Court, which operated concurrently with the Serpent Cult and the Mystery Schools. It was said to have been founded by the priest-prince Ankhfn Khonso, though it was Sobeknefru who established it as a Pharaonic institution.
What were the changes wrought by this merging of belief and politics? For starters, Pharaohs were anointed with Sacred Crocodile (Messeh) fat when they were crowned, referred to in Egypt as the Holy Mesa, which became the Aramaic Mashih, which in its verb form is MeSHeH or ‘to anoint’.
This lead to the early Kings being called ‘Dragons’, ‘Mesas’ or ‘Messiahs’. This practice may have begun in Mesopotamia, but it was Sobeknefru who instituted it in Egypt, which was then adopted by the High Kings of Israel and Judea. Jesus, as a Messiah, would have been anointed with the fat of the Messeh by his Priestess-Wife, as did his ancestors which were of the Davidic line.
The belief in the conception of a Messeh without sexual union did not begin with Jesus, but with the Goddess Isis, who conceived Horus with the aid of Sobek who helped her retrieve her husband, though with one key body part missing. The Egyptians believed cosmic forces intervened in the impregnation under the patronage of the crocodile star. We find it in spell 148 of the coffin text:
“The Crocodile Star Messeh strikes … Isis wakes pregnant with the seed of Osiris –namely Horus”
So, if Sobeknefru’s induction of the cult of Sobek into the Pharaonic ceremonies and rituals had such a far-reaching effect on the countries and dynasties in Bible times, did it end with the fall of Jerusalem? No. The rituals were known and emulated by the royal houses in Europe, first with the name Pendragon (Head Dragon) becoming known through Arthurian lore and then with Emperor Sigismund von Luxemburg, King of Hungary reforming the Imperial and Royal Dragon Court as the Societas Draconis in 1408. Emperor Sigismund claimed descent from Egyptian Dragon Dynasty of Sobeknefru through the Davidic line of Judah and the Pictish line descended from Maelasanu (Melusine) and the Tuatha de Danaan. One of the most famous members of the Societas Draconis is Vlad Basarrab, or Dracula, son of Vlad Drakul. Dracula’s son wrote that his father proudly claimed a linear descent of the Priests of the Dragon Court of Queen Sobeknefru, by which he may have meant a spiritual priestly lineage rather than a genealogical one.
Sobek was associated with the Nile crocodile and is either represented in its reptile form or as a human with a crocodile head. Sobek was also associated with power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a fiercely protective deity, which was invoked particularly for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile River. He gained ascendance through the myth that linked him to Isis and Osiris, when he helped the Goddess retrieve her husband’s dismembered body parts.

His cult was established in Faiyum Region, with its capital Sheddet (translated Crocodilopolis) devoted to the care and worship of the god, and of the crocodiles raised in the temple as reincarnations of the deity.
One of the most important benefactors the cult of Sobek had was Amenemhat III, Sobeknefru’s father. He had taken a particular interest in Faiyum and in Sobek and so the area blossomed with many new building projects. Sobeknefru would have grown up around the priesthood of the Deity and perhaps Sobek was her personal favourite of the pantheon. When her brother died, the priesthood of Sobek backed her claim to the throne, as Amenemhat IV had no sons.

What we know from Sobeknefru’s reign is that she extended the labyrinth that her father had begun in the Faiyum Oasis—this labyrinth was used as a model for the one in Crete, hinting that perhaps there was an initiation ceremony in both countries that was turned into myth later.
Unfortunately, not much else is known about her reign as there is little evidence, unlike Hatshepsut. Archaeologists have not found her tomb (though a pyramid in Dashur may be hers) and so all we have are five statues, several beads, scarabs and seals bearing her name. Other evidence comes in the form of Manetho's text; in the Turin Canon, the Karnak, Turin and Sakkara king lists and a Nile inundation record. She is listed at the mortuary Temple of her father, Amenemhat III which she completed. Surprisingly (or not) her name appears many times at the temple, whereas her brother’s name is absent.

Sobeknefereu was the first known female Pharaoh for which there is confirmed proof, and she is known to have had a prosperous, though brief, reign. Some have claimed that she is the Egyptian Princess who rescued Moses and that he was Amenemhat IV, forced to flee when he killed the Egyptian. When he left and Amenemhat III died, she would have taken the throne. Considering her father’s patronage of the cult of Sobek and the care of the holy crocodiles, it is reasonable to suggest that is why the babies were given to them as a method of population control.
It may be surprising that her influence is found in certain families who have claimed descent from her, namely: the Dragon (or Sacred Crocodile) Court, which operated concurrently with the Serpent Cult and the Mystery Schools. It was said to have been founded by the priest-prince Ankhfn Khonso, though it was Sobeknefru who established it as a Pharaonic institution.
What were the changes wrought by this merging of belief and politics? For starters, Pharaohs were anointed with Sacred Crocodile (Messeh) fat when they were crowned, referred to in Egypt as the Holy Mesa, which became the Aramaic Mashih, which in its verb form is MeSHeH or ‘to anoint’.
This lead to the early Kings being called ‘Dragons’, ‘Mesas’ or ‘Messiahs’. This practice may have begun in Mesopotamia, but it was Sobeknefru who instituted it in Egypt, which was then adopted by the High Kings of Israel and Judea. Jesus, as a Messiah, would have been anointed with the fat of the Messeh by his Priestess-Wife, as did his ancestors which were of the Davidic line.
The belief in the conception of a Messeh without sexual union did not begin with Jesus, but with the Goddess Isis, who conceived Horus with the aid of Sobek who helped her retrieve her husband, though with one key body part missing. The Egyptians believed cosmic forces intervened in the impregnation under the patronage of the crocodile star. We find it in spell 148 of the coffin text:
“The Crocodile Star Messeh strikes … Isis wakes pregnant with the seed of Osiris –namely Horus”
So, if Sobeknefru’s induction of the cult of Sobek into the Pharaonic ceremonies and rituals had such a far-reaching effect on the countries and dynasties in Bible times, did it end with the fall of Jerusalem? No. The rituals were known and emulated by the royal houses in Europe, first with the name Pendragon (Head Dragon) becoming known through Arthurian lore and then with Emperor Sigismund von Luxemburg, King of Hungary reforming the Imperial and Royal Dragon Court as the Societas Draconis in 1408. Emperor Sigismund claimed descent from Egyptian Dragon Dynasty of Sobeknefru through the Davidic line of Judah and the Pictish line descended from Maelasanu (Melusine) and the Tuatha de Danaan.
