Amun

Amun, also known as Amon or Ammon, was a major god of ancient Egypt. He was worshipped as a sun and creator deity, notably in the city of Thebes.

Overview
Amun, alongside his wife/female counterpart Amunet, was one of the Ogdoad, the eight primordial gods of creation, alongside Nun, Naunet, Heh, Hauhet, Kek and Kauket.

His worship was most common in the city of Thebes, where it had replaced the worship of the falcon-headed war-god Montu by the 21st century BC. From there his worship spread across Egypt and after the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I, Amun was fused with Ra, becoming Amun-Ra and became an important deity, often seen as a creator god and having the title "The Invisible One".

He was also sometimes paired with the goddess Mut and was the father of Khonsu, the god of the moon.

Other cultures
The Greeks, and later Romans, compared Amun to the chief god, Zeus (and Jupiter), and over time the two gods were merged as Zeus Ammon/Jupiter Ammon.

The Bible mentions Amun in Jeremiah 46:25: The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes, on Pharaoh, on Egypt and her gods and her kings, and on those who rely on Pharaoh.

In Christian demonology Amun is often conflated with the Aamon, a Marquis of Hell.
