Amun

Amun (also known as Amun-Ra after his association with the sun god Ra) is a major deity in ancient Egyptian religion, identified as the hidden, secret, and mysterious force of nature. He was often depicted as a man wearing a tall, double-plumed headdress or, in later periods, as a ram. Amun's consort was the goddess Mut, and his son was the moon god Khonsu. The triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu was particularly revered in Thebes, where Amun was the chief deity of the state religion. The name Amun translates to אָמוּן in Hebrew. In ancient Greek, he was known as Ammon (Ἄμμων), and in Latin as Ammon. Amun's importance grew during the Egyptian Empire, and he became a national patron deity. His worship persisted until the decline of ancient Egyptian religion in the late Roman Empire.
