Amun was the main god of Thebes in southern Egypt.

During the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt, Thebes became the capital of Egypt, and Amun quickly rose to the status of the chief god of all Egypt, replacing the god Ra.

Pharaoh even ordered the whole country to believe in Amun as a main god, but the worship of the god Ra did not disappear, and Amun and the god Ra became one, becoming Amun-Ra, known as the King of the Gods, the King of the Heavens.

The pharaoh of the world was regarded as the son of Amun-Ra.

Amun, like the god Ra, is the god of the sun. Unlike Ra, the god Amun generally appeared as a handsome and majestic man, while Ra appeared as a kind and elderly man.

Unlike the original Ra god who replaced Atem, Amun did not integrate into the Nine Pillars System. As the local lord god of Thebes, Amun had his own incomplete family system, which was a common feature of many local lord gods in Egypt, and he had his own wife and son.

After becoming the main god of all Egypt, this system still followed Amun.

Amun's wife was a beautiful goddess named Mute, and her son was called Hongsu, the goddess of the moon. Amun lived with his wife and son at the Karnak Temple in Thebes.

There is a story between Amon and his son:

Amun never revealed his true image to anyone, and his son Hong Su was no exception.

Hong Su asked Amun to show his true image in front of him, but Amun was unwilling to make an exception, but he could not bear to refuse his son's request.

So he wrapped himself in the skin and head of a ram and appeared before his son. Hong Su thought he had seen the truth about his father and told everyone the secret.

Egypt never killed a ram, only one a year on Amun's birthday, wrapping its skin around Amun's idol.
