Amunet (/ˈæməˌnɛt/) or Imnt (The Hidden One in hieroglyphics; also spelled Amonet or Amaunet; Koinē Greek: Αμαυνι)[2][3] is a primordial goddess in ancient Egyptian religion.[4][5] Thebes was the center of her worship through the last dynasty, the Ptolemaic Kingdom, in 30 BCE. She is attested in the earliest known of Egyptian religious texts and, as was the custom, was paired with a counterpart who is entitled with the same name, but in the masculine, Amun. They were thought to have existed prior to the beginning of creation along with three other couples representing primeval concepts.
