Amun was the name of a deity in ancient Egyptian religion, which became one of the most important deities in Ancient Egyptian history. The ancient Egyptians depicted the god Amun in various shapes. Amun appeared as a man with a head, head, frog, ram, a man wearing an ostrich crown, and a goose.

It began as Thebesian air and fertility god, whose power grew as the city of Thebes grew from a petty village in the old kingdom to a powerful metropolis in the Middle and New Kingdoms. He rose to become a member of the eight gods collectively called the Ogdoad of Hermopolis. He then became a member of the three gods referred to as the Thebes Trinity. At that time he was called the patron of the Pharaoh's Gods and was eventually combined with the sun god Ra, who was the sovereign deity of the Old Kingdom, to become Amun-Ra, king of the gods and ruler of the Great Ennead. Amun-Ra was hailed as a national god, the creator of the universe, the personal protector of Pharaoh, and the god of war.

He appeared in the Pyramid Texts as a member of the Oedead, an important god at Thebes. His importance began in the Middle Kingdom, when King Amenhotep had compound names with Amun

After the expulsion of the Hyksos, he became the king of the gods. During the reign of Akhnaton, a religious and political revolution broke out against him, but he returned to become the great god of Egypt.

The Temple of Karnak was the oldest Temple of Amun-Re. His reputation goes far beyond the borders of Egypt. His worship spread to Ethiopia, Nubia, Libya, and much of Palestine. The Greeks believed it was an Egyptian manifestation of their god Zeus.

Consequently, they chose Amun from among their deities to be the god of war.

The belief in the god Amun was very strong, and there was interest in depicting him in many images, the most important of which was the image of the ram as a symbol of fertility and a symbol of the renewal and flow of water.

The image may depict a ram or a man with a ram's head. A ram-headed sphinx or a goose, a frog. Lastly, he has blue skin in some of his representations rather than the usual red-brown. Blue was a colour that the Egyptians connected to air and creation.

Amunet, Mut, or Amunet, is the wife of the god Amun or Amun-Ra, and was known as the cow of heaven, which is the feminine name of the word Amun. Their son was the god "Khonsu", the god of the moon among the ancient Egyptians. 

The father, son, and wife formed the holy trinity of the city of Thebes, Mut, or Mut, which means "mother" and is the mother of the gods in ancient Egypt. Its pronunciation and name changed over thousands of years in several cultures and civilizations She is often depicted as an Egyptian eagle, a white eagle.

In ancient Egypt, gods were neither absolutely good nor absolutely evil. Every god had both good and evil. It is said that Amun-Ra lived among humans until he became old. People began to mock him! At that point, the god became angry and decided to send his daughter, Hathor, in her savage form, Sekhmet, to destroy them all!

But Sekhmet went too far in her revenge, and Amun-Ra feared that she would harm children and those whose hearts were filled with compassion... He then commanded that red wine be added to the river, rendering it blood crimson. When Sekhmet rushed to drink, thinking it was human blood, she lost consciousness! The next day, the sun rose upon her as Hathor, the mother goddess, in her generous and loving form.
