Lakhumis

Lakhumis are a group of ancient Egyptian deities associated with the moon and the night. They are often depicted as a pair of gods, Lakhu and Umis, who represent the moon's waxing and waning phases, respectively. The Lakhumis are believed to have originated in the Predynastic period, around 5000 BCE, and continued to be worshipped throughout the Old Kingdom of Egypt. They are often depicted in art and architecture, such as on the walls of tombs and temples, and are mentioned in various ancient Egyptian texts and inscriptions. The Lakhumis are also associated with the goddess Nut, who is often depicted as a sky goddess with the moon as her eye. The exact nature of the Lakhumis' worship and significance is still a subject of ongoing scholarly debate, but they are generally considered to be important figures in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology.
