In early
Egyptian mythology, Anhur (also spelled Onuris, Onouris, An-Her, Anhuret, Han-Her, Inhert) was originally a foreign god of
war, who started being worshipped in the
Egyptian area of
Abydos, and particularly in
Thinis, during the
11th dynasty. Myths told that he had brought his wife,
Menhit, who was his female counterpart, from
Nubia, and his name reflects this - it means (one who) leads back the distant one.
