Ancient Egyptian mythologists believed that during the night the sun journeyed finished a tunnel that existed in the earth - its entry into the tunnel caused the night, its emergence again contributing the day once again. Each end of this burrow was defended by a lion god, and the two gods were called Akeru (also famous as Akherui):

Aker is an old god from ancient Egypt - he is first observed in the Pyramid Texts, and from the transits in which his name happens is thought that he had a very clear and well fixed role in the Early Egyptian kingdoms.

In the afterward period of Egyptian theology the two lions cooking the Akeru were named Sef and Tuau - 'yesterday' and 'today' respectively. Because the ancient Egyptians believed that Aker restrained the gates of the morning and night, statues of the lion god were set at the doors of houses and besides at tombs to guard both the enduring and the dead from evil spirits and more eartherly foes. These lion protectors were sometimes broken the head of women and men  which turned them into a more identifiable form - that of the Sphinx.

Min bears a flat crown with two tall plumes and wafts hanging down. From the Old Kingdom (2686-2181 b.c.) on, he was connected with long-leafed lettuce, which usually was found on his extending table. The Pyramid Texts name to Min as he Whose Arm is Increased in the East. Mins cult central was at Koptos, and excavations at the temple website  have  got  three  colossal statues engraved in limestone that may be the early sculptures of the  deity.

In the Middle Kingdom (2055-1650  b.c.),  the assigns  of  Min  and  Horus,  the  falcon  god,  were engaged.  Horus  was  seen  as  the  deity  of  the  southeastern Delta,  Min  was  the  deity  of  the  east  desert,  and the new god was visited Min-Horus, the guardian of mining dispatches into the Sinai.
