Igai

Igai was slender for a titanosaur, estimated to have reached around 10–15 m in length. Its discovery strengthened a hypothesis that Late Cretaceous titanosaurs in northern Africa and Europe tended to be relatively small. This is in contrast to their counterparts from southern Africa, which seemed to have evolutionary origins from the Gondwanan continent.

Information

There’s not been a lot of study around the worship of the god Igai due to the fact that there’s not many depictions of him or mention of him. Igai’s name is typically seen as 𓌀𓌀 and the double was scepter could refer to him being associated with the pillars of the sky, since the was represented the “limits of the Egyptian cosmos” or the was, in this case, could be “conceived as the last stronghold before the vastness of the western desert.”

The few inscriptions we do have on him often pair him with the god Ha, a god of the western desert. CT 755 and 756 may be referring to a pun, in which ḥ3 [Ha] and ḥw3 refer to decay that happens in the desert along with the necropolis, and ?gwꜣ and ↄIgꜣi pun on the idea of the narrow confinement of the entombed body and the hemmed-in isolation of the oasis depressions, “Do not become hemmed in/choke (gwa) in this your name of Igai; do not become decayed (hwa) in this your name of Ha.” Ismail believes that Igai had a role in protecting some of the limbs of Wesir from decaying and CT 756 may allude to him having a small connection to funerary roles and the process of resurrection, as well, “Do not become wormy in this your name of “worm.””

Igai semkhu Gorscak et al., 2023 (new genus and species)

(Tibiae [shin bones] of Igai semkhu [scale bar = 10 cm], from Gorscak et al., 2023)

Meaning of name: Igai = ancient Eyptian deity known as the "lord of the oasis"; semkhu = the forgotten [in Ancient Egyptian]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Campanian)

Where found: Quseir Formation, New Valley, Egypt

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual, including five back vertebrae and parts of the limbs. Numerous other bone fragments were apparently found at the original fossil site, but are currently missing.

Notes: The type specimen of Igai had been discovered in 1977, but had not been formally described in the scientific literature until now. It was a titanosaurian sauropod and one of the most completely known dinosaurs from the later half of the Late Cretaceous in mainland Africa. At an estimated 10–15 m in total body length, Igai was slightly larger than Mansourasaurus, another titanosaur that was found in the Quseir Formation, but appears to have been less robustly built.
