In the religion of ancient Egypt, Khnum was a god who was portrayed as a ram or as a man with two horns and a ram's head. In the belief of the ancient Egyptians, Khnum used a potter's wheel to physically create humanity from the muck of the Nile. The god who brought the Nile to create life on its banks, he was revered in Aswan, Memphis, and Esna, among other places in Egypt.
God of the Waters
Khnum was the lord of the cold waterfalls in Aswan, and the god of creation in ancient Egypt. The potter was depicted in the funerary temple of King Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari and in the Luxor Temple shaping a child from clay with his wheel, on a potter's wheel. He also appeared wearing the composite crown.
Khnum's titles were many due to his many works on the banks of the Nile. He was revered by everyone, as he was considered the one who brought about the flooding of the Nile and the fertility of the land. With the advent of the Nineteenth Egyptian Dynasty during the New Kingdom, Khnum took the title "Neb-O", meaning a source of inspiration for the Nile and humanity.
He has a temple specifically for Khnum and his wife to practice their religious rituals. There is also archaeological research that mentions that the Temple of Ethna dates back to the Middle Kingdom, the Twelfth Dynasty 1991-1778 BC. The temple was demolished and rebuilt in the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty. The discovery of the Temple of Ethna-Khnum dates back to 1843 AD, in the late era of Muhammad Ali Pasha.
The Temple of Ethna bears a wall painting of the god Khnum, a human with the head of a ram. He appears in other images with his wife, Menhet, who is represented with the head of a female lion, the sun disk above her, and the body of a woman. As for the goddess Neput, Khnum’s second wife, whose name means “Lady of the Countryside,” she is represented in the form of a human woman with the sun disk above her head between two horns. Here, she resembles the goddess Isis in her appearance.
