Ptah, chief god of Memphis.

Ptah - The chief diety of Memphis. Patron diety of craftsmen. Ptah's chief priest was called "Great Over-seer of Craftsmen" Ptah is portrayed carrying a staff that is a combination of the dijed-pillar of stability, the was-sceptre of power, and the ankh-sign for life.

In the Old Kingdom Ptah was merged with the hawk-headed funerary diety Sokar then in the Late Period Osiris was added to form a single god to look over funerary rituals.

Sekhmet - The consort of Ptah, she is the giver of devine retribution, vengeance, and conquest. She meted out devine punishment to the enemies of Ra and the Pharaoh and was called the "Eye of Ra." Her personification is a lion-headed woman. Sekhmet is the polar opposite of Hathor as explained in the legend of Sekhmet and Hathor.

Sekhmet the consort of Ptrah.
Nefertem son of Sekhmet and Ptah, worshiped in Memphis Triad.

Nefertem - Symbolized as a man with a blue lotus flower. He was closely linked to the sun god through the story of the Creation Myth of Hermopolis Magna. Pyramid Texts refer to "the lotus blossom which is before the nose of Re". He is called the Protector of the Two Lands. At Memphis he was worshiped as the son of Ptah and Sekhmet.


Ptah was worshiped throughout Egypt. Here is Ptah as shown on the walls of Karnak.
