The historian 'Mohamed Moustapha Bazma' wrote in his book 'Libya in the history':

quote:
[...] And the most ancient Egyptian deities have been drawed on the tombs and the walls with characters that have been exeptionally used by the Libyans to wear them or as decorations. and the Libyans were mentioned with them on the pharaonic remains.

Amon's depict:

I knew he had two feathers, but i wonder if he really was red-haired (red hair is also a berber/libyan character, i knew).

The goddess "Neith" is of Libyan origin. The Ancient Egyptians called her "The Libyan Goddess".

She is the same Greek goddess "athena" according to some greek scholars like as: herodotus and plato.

It was probably the same carthagian goddess "tanit" (Ta-neith). the female forms in the berber language are made throug adding 't' in the beginning and the end. and it is believed that the egyptians and the greeks ignored the first 't', there is said.

neith was born in from the god "poseidon" and the lake tritionis [was in the modern tunisia]. the libyan god "poseidon" was the god of the sea, and he was blue-eyed. the legend said that athena/neith/tanit also had blue eyes like as her father. but some afrocentric scholars calim it was 'black', and the eurocentrist claim it was 'beatuful' [european, thus].

athena/neith is depicted with some berber/libyan characters (like as herodotus said). but i don't know if she had any libyan characters in the egyptian depicts.

ament (...): the goddes of the west [this would mean "libya/maghrib/northeasth africa/tamazgha/the berber world"] and the underworld. she greets the dead on arrival in the west. she dwells in a tree on the edge of the desert and watches the gates of the undrworld. ament was originally the goddess of a libyan province to the west of egypt and the consort amon. she is depicted with an ostrich feather on her head. ament has been indentified with hathor as goddess of the underworld.

Ostrich feather- a common libyan ornament that was a sign of the word "western [because the western was inhabited by the libyans who are associated with the feathers by the ancient egyptians, ]" http://www.angelfire.com/pa/WoundedDove/elist.html

Ash (AS): Egyptian god of the Libyan Desert (Sahara). Known as the 'Lord of Libya'. Depicted in human form, sometimes with the head of a hawk. He was particularly associated with the fertile oases of the desert whose produce was prized in ancient Egypt. In his capacity as a desert god, Ash was sometimes identified with the god Seth.
