Description
Amun was identified as the most powerful deity in the universe he acquired epithetswhich described his various aspects as best they could. Wilkinson writes how "the
Egyptians
themselves called him Amun
asha
renu
or 'Amun rich in names,'
and the god can only be fully understood in terms of the many aspects which were
combined in him" (92). He was known as "The Concealed God" - he whose nature
could not be known and associated with air or the wind which can be felt but not seen
or touched. He was also the Creator God who originally stood on the first dry ground
at the beginning of time and created the world by mating with himself.
Once he was linked with Ra to become Amun-Ra, he took on Ra's aspects as a solar god
and, as one would expect from a creator, was also a fertility god linked with the fertility
deity Min (a very ancient god) and known in this regard as Amun-Min. As he had absorbed
the attributes of the war god Montu of Thebes, he was regularly invoked in battle
(as Ahmose I had done) and so was also a war god. His mysterious nature infused and
gave form to all that human beings could see and all that remained hidden from sight
and so he was also a universal god, the most powerful in the universe and, naturally,
the King of the Gods.
