Template:Infobox characterAmun, also known as The Invisible One, was the ancient Egyptian deity, who was seen as a chief deity and primordial god (Ogdoad) of creation, who was often fused with the sun-god Ra.
He was originally the patron deity of the city of Thebes, where he had replaced another deity, Montu. Over time his importance grew, and after the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I, the god and his cult grew in national importance. The Greeks, such as Alexander the Great, would compare him to the god Zeus, creation a hybrid god called Zeus Ammon. The same happened with the Romans and their chief god Jupiter, and the hybrid Jupiter Ammon.
Amun was married to either Amunet (a female aspect of himself) or the Mut, a goddess motherhood and fertility, and was the father of Khonsu, the Egyptian god of the Moon.
In Christian demonology he is compared with the demon Amon, who is a Marquis of Hell.
