In ancient Egyptian mythology, Amaunet was often regarded as a primordial goddess who embodied the power of invisibility and the mysteries of the unseen world. While her specific role and attributes varied, Amaunet was generally associated with the forces of chaos and fertility. She was particularly revered in the city of Thebes, where she was honored as one of the chief goddesses.
