Amu-Aa

Last updated

Amu-Aa (eater of the ass or eater of the phallus) [a] [1] [2] [3] is one of the gods that goes with Osiris during the second hour of the night. [4] [5]

Amu-Aa would eat the bread made for the boat and use the perfume. [6]

Notes

  1. ↑ Some translate the name as "one who knows the gate" which is a more fitting translation for his role as god near the gate.
