Amaunet, the Primeval Egyptian Goddess of Air and Hidden Forces--Hermopolitan Ogdoad Amun Wind Goddess Air Goddess ... (1175 words) |
 | Amaunet's name is the feminine version of Amun's, but She seems to be at least as old as He: The first mention of either Deity is as a pair, in a Pyramid Text dating to around 2350-2345 BCE, during the Egyptian Old Kingdom's Fifth Dynasty. |
| Amaunet is depicted in a small temple to Amun at Djamet (the modern Medinet Habu), just across the Nile from Luxor, dating from the 18th Dynasty which was begun by the Pharoah-Queen Hapshepsut in the mid-15th century BCE and continued by her successor/predecessor/co-regent (depending on when in the reign we're talking) Thutmoses III. |
| Amaunet was worshipped as a protective mother Goddess, Who, with Her roots in the beginnings of time and creation, was believed to play a fundamental role in keeping the natural forces of the universe going. |
