| Goddess Amunet name |
Goddess Amunet was the wife of
God Amun in the creation myth of the Ogdoad. Goddess Amunet and her husband described hiddenness. Mythology tells us that Amunet and Amun resided in the darkness and chaos of the primordial water. Amunet is a symbol of protection and one of the creation goddesses. Her rites were corresponding the pharaohs jubilee fete, and during the later Greek mastery of Egypt (332-32 b.c.), she is shown nurturing the king during his coronation ceremonial. Amunet is sometimes shown as a goddess wearing a crown of Lower Egypt. Her place of importance was for the most part taken over by
Mut, Amuns wife during the
New Kingdom (1550-1069 b.c.). However, there is a statue of Amunet in
Karnak Temple.
