Min (god)

Min is an Ancient Egyptian god in male human form, shown with an erect phallus which he holds in his left hand and an upheld right arm holding a flail. A god of fertility he was shown as having black skin to reflect the fertile black mud of the Nile's inundation. His other associations include the eastern desert and links to the god Horus.  Flinders Petrie excavated two large statues of Min at Qift which are now in the Ashmolean Museum and it is thought by some that they are pre-dynastic. Although not mentioned by name a reference to 'he whose arm is raised in the East' in the Pyramid Texts is thought to refer to Min. His importance grew in the Middle Kingdom when he became even more closely linked with Horus as the deity Min-Horus. By the New Kingdom he was also fused with Amen in the deity Min-Amen-kamutef (Min-Amen- bull of his mother).
