Menhit Goddess of War

Menhit Goddess of War

Minto was a god of war in the form of a Falcon in ancient Egyptian religion. As it appears in the hieroglyphs on the left at the bottom, it is written (m—n—t—o). However, due to the absence of signs of movement in the ancient Egyptian language, it cannot be pronounced correctly, so it can also be referred to as Mont or Minto.

His name and combination with RA

And Montu was an ancient god, whose nomadic name means (more precisely) wandering on his face. Originally, it was a manifestation of the influence of the scorching Sun (Ra), and along these lines, he is often represented under the name (Mintu-Ra), and the destructive property of the scorching sun earned him the characteristics of a warrior, eventually becoming the God of war.

His relationship with God Buchis

Because of the Association of Raging Bulls with power and war, Mento showed himself in the form of a white bull with a black face, which is called Bakha (or bochis), the greatest kings of Egypt called themselves the "mighty bull son of mento", and in the story of the famous Battle of Kadesh, it is narrated about Ramses II that when he saw the enemy "he attacked them as violently as Monto, the Lord Of Thebes."

Filming

In ancient Egyptian art, Minto is depicted as a man with a Falcon's head or a bull's head wearing a sun disk between two columns or feathers on his head, namely the Falcon representing the sky and the bull representing power and war, and he was depicted holding various weapons in his hands, including swords, bows and arrows, and knives.
