Menhit

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Menhit or Mehyt was an ancient Egyptian goddess.[1] In the Early Dynastic period Egyptians drew and carved her to look like a lioness lying down with three bent poles coming out of her back. She is shown on many early dynastic sealings and ivory artifacts, usually next to a picture of an Upper Egyptian shrine. People worshiped her in Hierakonpolis and Thinis.
