Ancient “Abu”, which means “elephant” or “ivory”. Let’s take a walk through Elephantine island; 5000 years of history in one place. On this once one of the greatest islands on the Nile another Egyptian triad of gods was worshiped and built temples for: Satet - goddess of annual inundation, Khnum - god of the sources of the Nile, and Anuket - goddess of the cataracts. Traces of the oldest temple date back at least to the 32nd century BCE. It was dedicated to the goddess Satet, who was the head of the Elephantine triad until the New Kingdom, when Khnum became the chief god of Elephantine.
