Am-heh The ancient Egyptian God Am-heh was a terrifying god of the netherworld whose name translates as “the devourer of millions”. He was depicted as a man with the head of a ferocious hunting dog. Am-Heh lived on a lake of fire, and only Atum was able to repel him. He is sometimes seen as an aspect of Ammit, the personification of divine retribution, as she had his name as an epithet. He has also been linked to the baboon god Babi (or Baba) because of their common interest in human flesh. Am-heh was not worshipped, he was feared. Am-heh has been known to retrieve and subdue rogue goddesses. His might knows no bounds. He once retrieved a daughter of Ra who had run off at night when her father’s powers were the weakest and lost control of her senses and caused great destruction. Send out by the Gods, Am-heh hunted the great Lady down and engaged her, capturing her in a tight embrace until her struggle subsided, threw her over his shoulder, and brought her home to her father who calmed the worried spirit of his daughter.
