Abstract
Nehmetawy is a comparative later-comer in the canon of Egyptian deities, first appearing in Upper Egypt and the Hermopolite Nome in the 18th dynasty and only in Lower Egypt generally from the 22nd Dynasty. She is not attested to any substantial degree until the Greco-Roman period. Nehmetawy is found at El-Ashmunien, specifically called ”Lady of Khmunu”, or ”Nehmetawy in the midst of Unu”. She is also associated with other sites, especially ones connected with Djhwty, such as Hermopolis-Bah in the Ibis Nome (Fifteenth Lower Egyptian Nome). She was also known in the Oases in the late and Greco-Roman periods.
The methodology of the research:
The objective of this research is to collect and study the scenes of Nehmetawy in temples and other different objects from Ancient Egypt until the end of the Greco-Roman period in order to better understand her forms, titles, roles and her relation with other gods.
