Ankt is also a variant spelling of the name of the goddess
Anuket, with whom Anouke shares little similarity. Ankt (sometimes spelt Anouke) was a goddess of
war worshipped by certain groups in ancient
Egypt. It is believed that Anouke was a goddess from
Asia Minor, worshiped by immigrants to ancient Egypt. This war goddess was shown usually as wearing a curved and feathered crown and carrying a spear, or bow and arrows. Within Egypt, she was later assimilated into
their mythology, and identified as
Neith, who by that time had developed aspects of a war goddess.
