Bakha - Egyptian Mythology - Ka of Menthu - Egyptian God - Bakha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | In Egyptian mythology, Bakha (also spelt Bakh, Buchis, and Bukhis) was the manifestation of the Ka (power/life-force) of the war god Menthu, worshipped in the region of Hermonthis. |
 | | As Ka is also the Egyptian word for bull, Bakha was said to manifest in a living bull, which, since Bakha was an aspect of a war-god, was said to be a wild bull, since these are aggressive when slightly provoked. |
 | | Eventually, the Bakha was identified as a form of the Apis, and consequently became considered an incarnation of Osiris. |
