TaMehu

TaMehu is a term that can refer to several distinct entities. One significant meaning of TaMehu is a region in ancient Egypt. This region, often translated as "Land of the South" or "Upper Egypt," was one of the two main political and administrative divisions of the country, the other being Ta-Shemau, or Lower Egypt. The division of Egypt into Upper and Lower regions was a fundamental aspect of its administration and identity for much of its history. TaMehu was generally situated in the southern part of the Nile Valley, stretching from the southern border of Egypt up to the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital cities varied throughout different periods, but prominent ones included Memphis and Thebes.

In a different context, TaMehu can also refer to a specific ancient Egyptian deity. This deity is less widely known than some of the more prominent gods, but references to TaMehu appear in certain religious texts and inscriptions. Information regarding the exact nature, iconography, and mythological role of this deity can be scarce and subject to scholarly interpretation. Further research into specific archaeological findings and hieroglyphic texts would be necessary to fully understand this aspect of TaMehu.
