Chons - Definition, explanation |
 | | During the Middle Kingdom, since the pool at the temple of Mut was in the shape of a crescent moon, Chons gradually replaced Menthu as her son, in Theban thought. |
 | | In art, Chons was depicted as a child with the head of a hawk, wearing the crescent of the new moon subtending the disk of the full moon. |
 | | Chons' sacred animal was the baboon, considered a lunar animal by the ancient Egyptians. |
