mut
Mut is a major figure in ancient Egyptian religion, regarded as the divine mother and wife of the god Amun. She was a central member of the Theban Triad, alongside Amun and their son Khonsu, and her cult was especially prominent in Thebes. The name Mut means “mother” in the ancient language, reflecting her role as a protective and nurturing maternal goddess. The worship of Mut spanned from the Middle Kingdom into the Late Period, with her principal temple complex integrated into Thebes’s Karnak temple area. In some periods she was syncretized with Hathor or Isis, illustrating the fluidity of divine identities in Egyptian religion. In art she is typically depicted as a goddess wearing a vulture headdress or otherwise shown as a nurturing maternal figure, and she was regarded as a guardian of the pharaoh and of cosmic order.
