Falcon-headed god of war, usually represented with a headdress consisting of a sun-disc and two plumes. He was the god of the 4th Upper Egyptian nome, whose original capital of Hermonthis (modern Armant) was replaced by Thebes during the 11th Dynasty (2081-1939 BC). The cult is attested in Theban region and major temples from Middle Kingdom to the Roman period. From the 30th dynasty (380-343 BC), the bull had an elaborate cult and important temple complexes at Karnak in Thebes and at Hermonthis, Al-Tud, and Al-Madamud.
