[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Djehuti [QUOTE] [b]The deity Montu or Mentu is different from the deity Men/Min. Min is a god of the Eastern Desert whose original cult center was in Akhmim in central Egypt. Montu or Mentu was a hawk deity whose cult center was located in Erment which is located in Upper Egypt about a dozen miles south of Waset (Thebes). The name 'Mentu' literally means nomad or wanderer. Funny that you bolded the name of one of his consorts Iunit as if there is a connection to the Iunty. If anything the only connection is the etymology of their name. Khnemu, the patron god of Abutu (Elephantine) has his consort Satet and his daughter Anuket. Though they may share the same etymology for the names of some Nehesi, it is a stretch to say there is a direct connection or correlation.[/b] [/QUOTE] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montu Excuse the wiki source but I think you should examine the below I am seeing a pattern here the name Montu does mean Nomad but it also connects to the God directly so what better fit than a some times nomadic people warrior like [QUOTE] In Ancient Egyptian religion, Montu was a falcon-god of war. Monthu's name, shown in Egyptian hieroglyphs to the right, is technically transcribed as mntw. Because of the difficulty in transcribing Egyptian, it is often realized as Mont, Monthu, Montju, or Menthu. [b]Montu was an ancient god, his name meaning nomad[/b], originally a manifestation of the scorching effect of the sun, Ra, and as such often appeared under the epithet Montu-Ra. The destructiveness of this characteristic led to him gaining characteristics of a warrior, and eventually becoming a war-god. Because of the association of raging bulls with strength and war, Montu was also said to manifest himself in a white bull with a black face, which was referred to as the Bakha. Egypt's greatest general-kings called themselves Mighty Bulls, the sons of Montu [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]you have to look at the original non-transliterated names without the vowels mntw. [/QB][/QUOTE]
