Amun, god of the air, was one of the eight primordial Egyptian deities. Amun's role evolved over the centuries; during the Middle Kingdom he became the King of the deities & in the New Kingdom he became a nationally worshipped god. He eventually merged with Ra, the ancient sun god, to become Amun-Ra.

History It is thought that Amun created himself & then everything else in the universe, but distanced himself from it as "the original inscrutable & indivisible creator." When Amun & Ra merged, he became a visible & invisible deity, which appealed to the ancient Egyptians' concept of Ma'at or balance. Amun-Ra was the father & protector of the pharaoh, & was the subject of a cult. Royal women had a complex relationship with the cult of Amun; Queen Nefertari received the title of "God's Wife of Amun" & the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut claimed she had the right to rule because her mother was impregnated by Amun, thus being his daughter empowered her ascendancy. Amun revealed his will & wishes through the use of oracles controlled by the priests. Amun had a following of priests who were overthrown by the Pharaoh Akhnaton when he replaced the worship of Amun with Aton. This change only lasted for one monarch & was reversed during the reign of Akhnaton's son, Tutankhamun, perhaps better known as King Tut, by priests who controlled him.
