Theban Triad

The Theban Triad refers to a group of three important deities worshipped in ancient Thebes, Egypt. It includes Amun, a chief god associated with creation and hidden power; his consort Mut, a mother goddess representing nurturing and fertility; and their son Khonsu, the moon god symbolizing time and healing. This triad was central to Theban religious practices, with their temples serving as major spiritual centers. The worship of these deities emphasized divine kingship, cosmic order, and protection, reflecting Thebes’ significance as a religious and political hub in ancient Egypt.
