Mut

Egyptian · deity · middle kingdom · deity

Mut ('Mother') is the great Theban mother-goddess, consort of Amun and mother of the moon-god Khonsu — the second member of the Theban Triad. Appearing in the record from the late Middle Kingdom, she displaced Amun's earlier consorts Amunet and Wosret and rose with Amun-Re to national prominence in the New Kingdom. Her Karnak precinct, ringed by the crescent isheru lake and filled with hundreds of Sekhmet statues, identifies her with the fierce-and-pacified solar Eye of Ra; she is distinctively crowned with the royal Double Crown and writes her name with the vulture. Authored here to materialize the maternal anchor named inside the existing Khonsu entry ('son of Amun and Mut'); wired spouse -> egyptian_amun (reciprocal needed on Amun) and mother-of -> egyptian_khonsu (parentIds update needed on Khonsu).
