Amun or Amen--Nubian God in Egypt

"CAIRO (Reuters) – Archaeologists have unearthed the site of a pharaonic-era sacred lake in a temple to the Egyptian goddess Mut in the ruins of ancient Tanis, the Culture Ministry said on Thursday.

"It was the second sacred lake found at Tanis, which became the northern capital of ancient Egypt in the 21st pharaonic dynasty, over 3,000 years ago.

"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."

Amun or Amen. Here it is. One of the gods of Nubia is found to be one of the Gods of Egypt. Keep in mind the Amun (or Amen) of Nubia was also a God of life.

Stay tuned...
