Amun is often referred to as the “god of two horns.” Rams were linked with fertility and war, making him a powerful protector figure for the New Kingdom pharaohs.

Archaeologists and historians reveal how the ascent of The God’s Wife of Amun lifted some women to the highest echelons of religious, political, and financial power in the ancient Egyptian empire.

The goddess Mut, sometimes depicted as a vulture, was the wife of Amun, god of wind and the breath of life. She was also mother of the moon god Khonsu.
