"The Hidden." It is originally a sky god who quickly became the Egyptian sun god's largest country, when he was a local god of Thebes. The cult of Amun took important parallel to the rise of Thebes in the government. In the new Empire

he was associated with the god Ra Amon-Ra to form, the form which he was the "King of the Gods" and the tutelary deity of the pharaohs. The Pharaohs, already regarded as "son of Ra" then became incarnations of Amon-Ra. Amon took the role of creator-god and chief deity in the cosmology of the New Kingdom, creating heaven and earth by his thought.

Member Ogdoad, coupled with the goddess Amaunet, it is the occult power. There is also a member of the Theban triad and thus husband of the goddess Mut, and father of Khonsu. Amon was represented as a bearded man with blue skin or a man with ram's head and twisted horns. He wears a crown with two tall plumes and is sometimes depicted as ithyphallic, erect.

His real appearance, however, was supposed to be beyond human comprehension and was called "the hidden, mysterious of form", invisible but omnipresent in the cosmos.

Sacred animals of Amon were the goose and the ram and its main sanctuary was at Karnak and Luxor near Thebes. Amun and the Theban priests were overshadowed by the god Aten in the reign of Akhenaten, but things returned to order soon after the death of it.

It was only during the sacking of Thebes by the Assyrians in 663 BC that Amun's influence is diminishing just to make a god of local importance. However, the oracle of Amun in the oasis of Siwa in the western desert lasted at least until the time of Alexander the Great, who visited the oracle before being crowned Pharaoh.
