Aker (deity) : ウィキペディア英語版
Aker (deity)

Aker was a Ancient Egyptian earth and death deity.
== Description ==
Aker was first depicted as the torso of a recumbent lion with a widely opened mouth. Later, he was depicted as two recumbent lion torsos merged with each other and still looking away from each other.〔
From Middle Kingdom onwards Aker appears as a pair of twin lions, one named ''Duaj'' (meaning "yesterday") and the other ''Sefer'' (meaning "tomorrow"). Aker was thus often titled "He who's looking forward and behind". When depicted as a lion pair, a hieroglyphic sign for "horizon" (two merged mountains) and a sun disc was put between the lions; the lions were sitting back-on-back.〔Pat Remler: ''Egyptian Mythology, A to Z''. Infobase Publishing, 2010, ISBN 1438131801, pp. 4 & 5.〕
In later times, Aker can also appear as two merged torsos of recumbent sphinxes with human heads.〔
