Sokar

Ptah-Sokar is a syncretic deity from ancient Egyptian religion, combining aspects of the gods Ptah and Sokar. Ptah was the god of craftsmen and architects, often depicted as a mummified man holding a scepter, while Sokar was a deity associated with the necropolis and the afterlife, often depicted as a hawk or a mummified falcon. The combined deity, Ptah-Sokar, was particularly venerated in Memphis and was associated with the afterlife, resurrection, and the protection of the dead. The name Ptah-Sokar is often transliterated into Hebrew as פתח סוקר, though direct translations are not commonly used. In other relevant languages, the name is transliterated as Ptah-Sokar in Latin and Ptah-Sokar in French. This deity was often depicted with the head of a hawk and the body of a mummy, symbolizing the union of the two gods and their combined roles in the Egyptian pantheon. Ptah-Sokar was also associated with the Book of the Dead, particularly in the context of protecting the deceased during their journey through the afterlife.
