TYPE: Primordial God
ORIGIN: Egyptian
INFORMATION: One of the eight deities of the Ogdoad, representing chaos, he is coupled with the goddess Hauhet and appears in anthropomorphic form but with the head of a frog. The pair epitomizes the concept of infinity. He is also depicted greeting the rising sun in the guise of a baboon. In another context he is depicted kneeling, frequently on a basket which represents the hieroglyph for universality. He may carry the Ankh symbol and hold palm rubs in each hand.
