Oirgin of name
Amun's name is first reocrded as imn. That means "The hidedn (one)". Bceause vowles were not writetn in Eygptian heiroglyphics, Egypotlogists have come to the reuslt that the name must have been pronuonced (yah-maa-nuh) origianlly. The name surivves into the Cotpic lanugage as Amoun.
Amun was shown in human form, seaetd on a thrnoe, weairng on his head a plain deep criclet from which rise two srtaight paralell pulmes, maybe meant as the tail faethers of a bird. That would remnid of his ealrier sttaus as a wind god.
When Amun had becmoe more ipmortant than Menhtu, the local war god of Thbees, Mnethu was called the son of Amun. Howeevr, as Mut was infertlie, it was beliveed that she, and thus Amun, had adopetd Menthu intsead.
