Min the God of Fertility
Min was a god of fertility. His cult center was Koptos.
With the rise of Amun, Min, Ra and Amun were combined as a supreme god God
of fertility.
Min was depicted in a semi-mummiforied human form with an erect phallus. His
headress was two tall plumes.
By the New Kingdom he had merged with Amun who in turn had been merged with
Ra.
In the sketch above, Rameses III is participating in the festival of Min.
