Amun (ancient Egyptian: ἰ mn, which means "hidden person" (also spelled "Amon"), is one of the eight gods (Ogload), and is called the three pillar god together with his wife Mute and son Confucius [1]. When Thebes became the capital of all Egypt, he became the national god and new sun god of the New Kingdom of Egypt. Later, Amun and La merged into Amun La.

Amun was the main god of ancient Egypt - Thebes, and became the main god of the country because of the rise of Thebes. The name means "The Hidden One". The sacred animals are geese and rams.
Amun is the sun god like La. Unlike La, Amun usually appears as a handsome and dignified man, while La appears as a kind old man.
Different from the original Ra God who combined Atum, Amun did not integrate into the system of nine pillar gods. When Amun was the local god of Thebes, he had his own incomplete family system - a common feature of the main gods in many parts of Egypt - and he had his own wife and son. After becoming the main god of all Egypt, this system is still accompanied by Amun. Amun's wife is a beautiful goddess named Mut, and his son, Chons, is the moon god. Amun lived with his wife and son at the Karnak Temple in Thebes.
There is another story between Amun and his son:
Amun never showed his true image to others, and his son Confucius was no exception. Confucius asked Amun to show his real image in front of him, but Amun was unwilling to make an exception, but could not bear to refuse his son's request. So he wrapped himself in the skin and head of a ram and appeared before his son. Confucius thought he saw the truth of his father and told everyone the secret. Egypt never killed rams. Only one ram was killed every year on Amun's birthday, and the god of Amun was wrapped with its skin.

At first Amun was only the local god of Thebes. At that time, Thebes was just an inconspicuous town on the east bank of the Nile River, located in the area around today's Karnak Temple. The Eleventh Dynasty originated from a family in the state of Hermentet (or perhaps in the region of Thebes), who worshipped Amun and decorated his temple with statues. Later, the name of Amun was compounded into the name of the founder of the Twelfth Dynasty, Amun Nemhet I, which was then inherited by his three successors. In addition, several kings of the Middle Kingdom also adopted the same name. Since the 17th Dynasty of Thebes drove away the Hiksos, Amun, as the god of the royal city, has been revered again.
Amun sometimes has blue skin in murals
However, it was not until the rulers of the Eighteenth Dynasty drove their victorious troops from all directions to the border that Amun really became a god universally recognized in Egypt and surpassed other gods in Egypt, and even went out of Egypt to become a god of the universe. The pharaohs attributed all their victories to Amun and spent a lot of wealth and labor on Amun's temple.
Amun is depicted as a human figure, wearing a headband from which two parallel feathers protrude, which may represent the tail feathers of an eagle. Amun has two common images: one is sitting on a throne; The other is standing, holding a whip, much like the god Min of Coptos and Zimisc. The latter may be his original image - the god of fertility. The king solemnly plowed the land to be sown or reaped the ripe grain in front of him.
Amun's spouse is sometimes called Amaunet (the feminine word of Amon), but it is usually called Mut (Amaunt and mut are not the same gods, and Amaunt is more considered to be the feminization of Amon, that is, the rising day is Amon, and the setting day is Amaunt). She has a human head and wears the double crown of Lower Egypt. Their son is Confucius.
The name of the sun god La is sometimes combined with the name of Amun, especially when he is the "king of the gods". In Egypt, the rule of heaven belongs to the sun god, and Amun is the supreme god. Therefore, logically speaking, Amun is La. Amun is called "the throne and the king of the two lands", or more proudly called "the king of the gods".
