Kherty
Kherty is a Ancient Egyptian deity. Despite he is archaeologically attested since the early 2nd dynasty, his original mythological role during this era is unclear. The earliest mythological descriptions of Kherty's role appear not until the 6th dynasty in the Pyramid Texts.〔John Gwyn Griffiths: ''The Origins of Osiris and His Cult'' (= ''Studies in the history of religions'', vol. 40). BRILL, Leiden 1980, ISBN 9004060960, p. 6, 173 & 174.〕 == Description == The earliest depictions of Kherty appear during the early 2nd dynasty, under king (pharaoh) Hotepsekhemwy and Raneb. He is shown as a recumbent and mummified ram. The figurine is always guided by the hieroglyphic signs of a shamble and a bread loaf, giving a reading as ''kherty''. The meaning of this word is commonly "to slaughter", thus Kherty's name may mean "the slaughterer".〔〔Georg Meurer: ''Die Feinde des Königs in den Pyramidentexten'' (= ''Orbis biblicus et orientalis'', vol. 189). Saint-Paul, 2002, ISBN 3525530463, pp. 73, 74 & 76.〕
