Question: In the collection of myths from ancient Egypt the god Buchis was worshipped in what region?
Context: Animal mummification originated in ancient Egypt.  They mummified various animals.  It was an enormous part of Egyptian culture, not only in their role as food and pets, but also for religious reasons.  They were typically mummified for four main purposes—to allow beloved pets to go on to the afterlife, to provide food in the afterlife, to act as offerings to a particular god, and because some were seen as physical manifestations of specific gods that the Egyptians worshipped.  Bast, the cat goddess is an example of one such deity. God's Wife of Amun (Egyptian: "ḥm.t nṯr n ỉmn") was the highest-ranking priestess of the Amun cult, an important religious institution in ancient Egypt.  The cult was centered in Thebes in Upper Egypt during the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth dynasties (circa 740–525 BC).  The office had political importance as well as religious, since the two were closely related in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptian papyrus stem hieroglyph is one of the oldest language hieroglyphs from Ancient Egypt.  Along with the hieroglyph for the "Papyrus clump", a symbol of the Nile god Hapy, it is one of the foundation hieroglyphs at the core of the history of Ancient Egypt.  The papyrus stalk, (or stem) was incorporated into designs of columns on buildings, also facades, and is also in the iconographic art portrayed in Ancient Egyptian decorated scenes. Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of eastern North Africa, concentrated along the northern reaches of the Nile River in Egypt.  The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.  Its history occurred in a series of stable "kingdoms", separated by periods of relative instability known as "intermediate periods".  Ancient Egypt reached its pinnacle during the New Kingdom, after which it entered a period of slow decline.  Egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign powers in this late period, and the rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the early Roman Empire conquered Egypt and made it a province.  Although the Egyptian military forces in the Old and Middle kingdoms were well maintained, the new form that emerged in the New Kingdom showed the state becoming more organized to serve its needs. Ancient Egyptian deities are the gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Egypt.  The beliefs and rituals surrounding these gods formed the core of ancient Egyptian religion, which emerged sometime in prehistory.  Deities represented natural forces and phenomena, and the Egyptians supported and appeased them through offerings and rituals so that these forces would continue to function according to "maat", or divine order.  After the founding of the Egyptian state around 3100 BC, the authority to perform these tasks was controlled by the pharaoh, who claimed to be the gods' representative and managed the temples where the rituals were carried out. Egyptian mythology is the collection of myths from ancient Egypt, which describe the actions of the Egyptian gods as a means of understanding the world.  The beliefs that these myths express are an important part of ancient Egyptian religion.  Myths appear frequently in Egyptian writings and art, particularly in short stories and in religious material such as hymns, ritual texts, funerary texts, and temple decoration.  These sources rarely contain a complete account of a myth and often describe only brief fragments. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in the place that is now the country Egypt.  It is one of six historic civilizations to arise independently.  Egyptian civilization followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes (often identified with Narmer).  The history of ancient Egypt occurred as a series of stable kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age. Robert George Morkot, FSA (born 1957) is an archaeologist and academic, specialising in Ancient Egypt.  He is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Exeter.  His current research is focused on the external relations of Ancient Egypt, particularly the relations with Kush (Sudan).  He also works on the historiography of Ancient Egypt. In Egyptian mythology, Buchis (also spelt Bakh and Bakha) was the manifestation of the deification of Ka (power/life-force) of the war god Montu, worshipped in the region of Hermonthis. Hedjkheperre Setepenre Takelot II Si-Ese was a pharaoh of the Twenty-third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt in Middle and Upper Egypt.  He has been identified as the High Priest of Amun Takelot F, son of the High Priest of Amun Nimlot C at Thebes and, thus, the son of Nimlot C and grandson of king Osorkon II according to the latest academic research.  Based on two lunar dates belonging to Takelot II, this Upper Egyptian pharaoh is today believed to have ascended to the throne of a divided Egypt in either 845 BC or 834 BC.  Most Egyptologists today, including Aidan Dodson, Gerard Broekman, Jürgen von Beckerath, M.A. Leahy and Karl Jansen-Winkeln, also accept David Aston's hypothesis that Shoshenq III was Osorkon II's actual successor at Tanis, rather than Takelot II.  As Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton write in their comprehensive book on the royal families of Ancient Egypt:
Answer: Hermonthis
