# Amun · the hidden one · king of the gods of Thebes

a god of the NTR (Egyptian pantheon) mythology-world — emergence: ethereal. moniker ⟦Amun:NTR:8de2b6⟧

**⇄ the interpretatio —** Greek: *Zeus* · Roman: *Jupiter* — Zeus-Ammon; the Siwa oracle Alexander rode to; Herodotus II.42 — the strongest of all the equations

**who —** Amun, ‘the Hidden One’ — the great god of Thebes who rose to supreme power and fused with Ra as Amun-Ra.
**what —** The unseen creative power behind all things; invisible like the wind, he became the imperial king of the gods in the New Kingdom and the god of the Siwa oracle.
**where —** Thebes (Karnak, the largest temple ever built); the Siwa oasis oracle.
**why —** Because Egypt's mightiest god was, fittingly, the one you cannot see — the hidden breath that moves everything.
**how —** By being everywhere and invisible, and by absorbing the sun-god to rule as Amun-Ra over the empire.

**the seal —** You cannot see me, only what I move — I am the hidden one, the wind that is also the king of the gods.
