 * Amun was the local god of Thebes, and was known as the god of wind and ruler of air. Also known as “the hidden one” or “invisible” Amun’s figure was never symbolised in the Egyptian text (hieroglyphs). He used his mind to create the sky and the Earth. **
 * The city of Thebes became the capital of the Egyptian kingdom, Amun then became king of the Gods and was soon related Re as Amun-Re. **
 * A young pharaoh took to the throne in 1934 BC. He was declared the religious group of Amun to the religion of the empire. Tutankhamen became his name. **
 * Amun was the wealthiest god and had over 80 slaves assigned to Ramses II to at Heliopolis. **
 * The god would visit on the tenth month of every year to the”gods of the west” in the underworld to attend the wonderful festival. There was a parade which included chariots, musicians, acrobats and dancers stopping at all the royal temples along the way. To attend this festival the Pharaoh would sail across the Nile, from Karnak in Ouserhat (a massive gilded boat). **
 * Because Amun was mystifying he was portrayed in many forms including, a man, a fertility god, or in the shape of a ram (believed to be incarnated in a sacred ram kept at the sanctuary in Karnak), often sitting on a throne. His body is the colour of lapis lazuli (a precious imported stone) and wears the crown of a sky god. His crown was topped with two ostrich feathers that were divided equally into two representing North and South Egypt. **
 * Amun was believed to be a magician and healer who preserved corpses, cured scorpion bites and offered protection from deadly animals also ensuring fair play for the poor. **
