First sentence: AMONG the gods who were known to the Egyptians in very early times were AMEN and his consort AMENT, , and their names are found in the Pyramid Texts, e.g., Unas, line 558, where they are mentioned immediately after the pair of gods NAU and NEN, , and in connexion with the twin Lion-gods Shu and Tefnut, who are described as the two gods who made their own bodies, and with the goddess TEMT, the female counterpart of Tem.
