Fact About Goddess Mut | Egyptian Goddess of Heaven

05 16, 2023

Egyptian Goddess of Heaven

Wife of Amun, Mut was the queen of all the gods. She is represented in the fabulous temple of Luxor, located in ancient Thebes. Mut, or Mut, meaning "mother", is the mother of the gods in ancient Egypt. Her pronunciation and name changed over the thousands of years in several cultures and civilizations. She was often depicted as an Egyptian eagle, which is a white vulture.[1] The "goddess Mut" is the wife of Amun, and her son is Khonsu.

Mut, appears in the form of a woman, a female eagle, or a female lion. Sometimes the goddess Mut appeared in the same form as the famous goddess Sekhmet, who was symbolized in the form of a lioness. The Temple of the Goddess Mut was built by Amenhotep III in honor of the goddess Mut, the wife of the god Amun.

This temple suffered great damage during the religious revolution of Akhenaten, but it was restored again during the reign of King Tutankhamun and then during the reign of the kings of the Twenty-first Dynasty. Ptolemy I added some buildings to it, especially its great gate. All that remains of the first courtyard of this temple is some ruins, after which we reach the second gate, the entrance of which was decorated with a picture of the dwarf god Bes, the Lord of Joy.

Among the ruins of the temple are statues of the goddess Sekhmet, which seem to represent the goddess Mut herself. There is also a huge statue of King Amenhotep III, and several statues representing monkeys, which symbolized the god Khonsu, son of the goddess Mut. Next to the temple is a large pit, which is the sacred lake of this temple, and the temple is surrounded by a great wall of mud bricks.

The god Amun used to visit his wife, the goddess Mut, once a year, moving from his temple in Karnak to the Luxor Temple. Therefore, they made the Karnak house the official palace of Amun and the Luxor house his private home where he lived with his wives. However, he would not move to that house in his official procession except on a special date during the year.
