| God Amun |
In the Pyramid texts he is already observed as a primeval god, in association with his wife Amaunet. In Old Egyptian view he was the moving agent in the obscure breeze; thus he was venerated as deity of the wind and ruler of the air. From the 11th dynasty onwards he is attested as god of Thebes. Here, he coalesces with the sun
God Ra to become Amun-Re, and, as Thebes increased in power, he grown king of the
gods and tutelary deity of the empire. In his content as earlier deity of creation he is venerated in the shape of a goose; otherwise, the ram is his dedicated animal, a reference to his function as god of fertility. After the flow of Thebes his cult flied high in Ethiopia and among the oasis inhabitants Ammon.
