Nefertem
 |
Nefertem is shown as a man wearing a blue lotus flower. Nefertem was worshiped at Buto as the son of Wadjet. Nefertem was closely linked to the sun god through the story of the Creation Myth of Hermopolis Magna. Pyramid Texts refer to him as "the lotus blossom which is before the nose of Re". Nefertem is also called the Protector of the Two Lands. At Memphis Nefertem was worshiped as the son of Ptah and the lioness goddess Sekhmet, and they formed the Memphis Triad. |
