In
Egyptian mythology, Andjety (also Anezti, Anedjti) is a
god who was particularly worshipped at
Andjet (known in Greek as Busiris). His name reflects this, as it means simply (one who is) from Andjet, and Andjet simply meaning place of
djed, djed being a type of pillar. Andjety appears to have been worshipped since pre-dynastic times, and is thought by most Egyptologists to be the god that eventually became
Osiris, although the question is not finally settled. Andjety's attributes are quite similar to those of the early Osiris - he was in charge of the
underworld, and was depicted holding the symbols of rulership of the
pharaoh - the
crook, conical crown (of
Upper Egypt), and
flail. In association with death, he has the title bull of vultures, i.e.
progenitor of
vultures.

[Egyptian] An Egyptian god of the underworld. He is responsible for the rebirth of a person in the afterlife. His worship originated in the ninth nome of Lower Egypt, and the center of his cult was located at Busiris. He is depicted with a high conical crown with two feather plumes. The crook and flail are his symbols, and because those are also the symbols of Osiris, Andjety was often associated with him. He also known as Anezti and Anedjti.
