Olokun is an Orisha in the Yoruba religion: the deity of the bottom of the ocean, revered as ruler of all bodies of water with authority over other water deities, and believed to be the parent of Ajé, the Orisha of great wealth. Olokun is praised for giving wealth, health and prosperity, and in Yoruba traditions is the god of the ocean, trade, fertility and beads. Communities in West Africa and the diaspora see Olokun variously as female, male or androgynous: near the coast Olokun takes a male form, while in the hinterland Olokun is a female deity, and in Santería Olokun is androgynous, man or woman depending on whether it is the Olokun of Ifá or of Ocha. One account from Ile-Ife tells that Olokun, as the senior wife of Oduduwa, came to manifest as the Atlantic Ocean through her rivalry with another wife, Osara, who became the Lagos lagoon. In a pataki from the Odu Ifa, Olokun rose in anger to drown humankind; on Orunmila's advice, Ogun forged the longest chain he could, and Obatala went down into the ocean and bound Olokun in their domain. In Brazilian Candomblé, Olokun is honoured as the mother of Yemoja and the owner of the sea.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
