Neit is the goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology and the patron saint of Sais. Since the First Dynasty, the city has become the worship center of Neit in the western part of the Nile Delta in Egypt. Its ancient Egyptian name is Zau.

Ness is also one of the three patron deities of the southern city of ancient Egypt, "Ta senet" or "Iunyt", now called Isna, and "Latopolis" in Greek (located on the west bank of the Nile, about 55 kilometers south of Luxor, and now "Qena Governorate" in the province of Kina).

Ness is the goddess of hunting and war. Her symbol is a shield with two arrows crossed on it. This symbol is also the symbol of Sais. In Egyptian art, this symbol is displayed above her head. As a goddess of war, she once said that she would let soldiers' weapons protect their bodies after death.
Ness has the characteristics of both male and female gods, and her name can also be interpreted as referring to water. As time goes by, it has led to her being considered as the embodiment of the creation of primitive water, with the mission of the creator god, the creator of gods and human beings, and known as the "father of fathers and mother of mothers".
The symbol of Ness and part of her holy book name are also similar to a loom. Therefore, in the later Egyptian mythology, she also became a weaving goddess and gained the meaning of the legendary name "Ness" - "weaver". At this time, her role as a creator has changed from "water" to "weaving world" God, and everything exists in her loom.
In the artistic image, Ness is sometimes presented as a woman who weaves a shuttle on her head and holds a bow and arrow in her hand. In other times, it was depicted as a woman with the head of a lion or a snake or a cow.
Sometimes, Ness is depicted as a woman who suckles crocodiles. Her title is "Crocodile Nurse". As the mother of Ra Shen, she is sometimes called "the cow that gave birth to Ra Shen".
Ness is also considered a goddess of wisdom, who once arbitrated the dispute between Horus and Seth.
Because Ness is the goddess of weaving, the patron saint of women and the patron saint of marriage. Therefore, ancient Egyptian noblewomen often named themselves "Ness". On the other hand, because she is also a goddess of war, there are some additional connections related to death. Some people say that what she weaves is a bandage and a shroud for the mummy of the deceased as a gift. Therefore, she began to be regarded as one of the four sons of Horus, specifically referring to the deification of Domtev's patron saint, the porcelain jar for storing the stomach. Because the abdomen (often mistaken for stomach) is the most vulnerable part of the body in combat, and also a major target. Some people said that she would shoot arrows at any evil spirit who dared to attack the protected porcelain pot.
