She is the sister of the goddess Satis, or she may have been a junior consort to Khnum instead.
The novel In Search for Khnum is, for the writer and Egyptologist Hussein Bassir, the first book with a Pharaonic setting among contemporary Egyptian literature in the style of ‘90s generation’.
The ancient Egyptians, whose influence on early religious thought was considered profound, usually arranged their gods and goddesses in groups of three, or trinities: there was the trinity of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, the trinity of Amen, Mut, and Khonsu, and the trinity of Khnum, Satis, and Anukis.
She was born in the 9th regnal year of Ptolemy XII Auletes, her father was apja Khahapi, a priest of Ptah, Min, Khnum-Ra and Horus, her mother was Herankh, a musician of the Ptah temple.
During the late period of Egyptian history a cult of Thoth gained prominence, due to its main centre, Khnum (Hermopolis Magna), also becoming the capital, and millions of dead ibis were mummified and buried in his honour.
