2080 Heryshaf ENT_EGY_HERYSHAF equated_with Osiris ENT_EGY_OSIRIS high Heryshaf was also identified with Osiris as a deity of death and resurrection; his ram-form links him to the ba (soul) traditions centred on Osiris.

2082 Banebdjedet ENT_EGY_BANEBDJEDET equated_with Ra ENT_EGY_RA high Banebdjedet is one of the four rams who collectively embody the souls (bau) of Ra, Osiris, Shu, and Geb; as the ba of Ra he is identified with the creator sun god. Pinch, Egyptian Mythology, p. 106. Geraldine Pinch, Egyptian Mythology SRC_PINCH_EGYPTIAN_MYTH approved  
2094 Iah ENT_EGY_IAH equated_with Thoth ENT_EGY_THOTH high Iah was also identified with Thoth as a lunar deity; Thoth as god of time and the calendar was associated with the moon, and Iah's function overlaps.

2098 Pakhet ENT_EGY_PAKHET patron_of Protection ENT_PROTECTION high Pakhet was a huntress and protector; she guarded the desert margins and her cult centre at Beni Hasan served as a boundary-marker against chaos.

2431 Nun ENT_EGY_NUN aligned_with Apsu ENT_MES_APSU medium Nun and Apsu are the two nearest cross-cultural parallels for the concept of the primordial male freshwater/undifferentiated-water abyss from which creation emerges: Nun is the Egyptian primordial watery chaos (gendered male), while Apsu is the Akkadian primordial freshwater ocean (also gendered male) who mingles with Tiamat (salt water) to produce the first gods in the Enuma Elish. Both Nun and Apsu represent the primordial water-before-creation as an existential category, both are gendered male, and both precede and enable the creation of the ordered cosmos. The parallel is widely noted in comparative cosmogony scholarship. Confidence medium: both are independently developed primordial water deities with no direct historical connection; the parallel is structural/typological. Pinch (2002) pp. 167-168.

2432 Nun ENT_EGY_NUN aligned_with Nammu ENT_MES_NAMMU medium Nun (Egyptian primordial watery abyss) and Nammu (Sumerian primordial sea-goddess, "the mother who gave birth to heaven and earth," Atrahasis Prologue; Enki and Ninhursag) are structurally parallel as the primordial undifferentiated water from which creation emerges and from which the creator deity is born. The parallel is noted in standard works on comparative ancient Near Eastern cosmogony. Key difference: Nun is gendered male; Nammu is gendered female (the Great Mother of Sumerian theology). Despite the gender inversion, both serve as the primordial creative matrix — the undifferentiated watery whole that precedes and enables creation. Confidence medium: independently developed traditions; structural parallel without direct historical connection. Pinch (2002) pp. 167-168.
