	Amen
		He is also shown as an ithyphallic fertility god, as a ram or ram-headed, again referring to creation and fecundity, or as a snake when he bears the name Kematef.
		Until the Middle Kingdom his influence was local; but when the Theban kings had established their sovereignty over Egypt, Amen became nationally pre-eminent as Amen-Re, and by the 18th Dynasty was called the King of the Gods.
		As creation god he assumed at times the name of Kematef (Greek Kneph) and was depicted as a snake.

	Medinet Habu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The location of the small temple of Amun is possibly connected with the myth, that Medinet Habu was likewise a place, at which a primeval mound emerged from the tides of the primeval ocean "Nun" during the formation of the world.
		To this place the creator-god Amun-em-ipet moved during the decade festival (testified since Ramses II) from his residence at Luxor temple and united with his own primeval form, the primeval snake Kematef living in the earth (= Amun-Kematef, member of the Ogdoad).
		Afterwards Amun-em-ipet revived the mortuary cult for the Ogdoad (which were respected as his ancestors) buried here.

	Gods and Goddesses
		The soul of Amun was supposed to be enshrined in a serpent-shaped scepter known as Kem-at-ef, which was perhaps his original fetish.
		A further incarnation of Atum was a snake in which the god bears the name of Kematef, “he-who-has-completed-his-time”.
		At various times he also appeared as a man with the head of a frog, the head of a uraeus, the head of a crocodile, or as an ape.

	Snakes \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		According to an ancient tradition of the druids (priests among the Celtic peoples) the world originated from an egg that came from the mouth of a serpent.
		Various of the oldest Egyptian gods were thought of as serpents: as, for example, Atum before he ascended from the primeval ocean, and Amun of Thebes, who was also called Kematef ("he who has fulfilled his time").
		In the philosophical speculations of the ancient Near East on creation, serpents and dragons symbolized that which had not yet been made manifest: the still undivided unity that held sway before the creation of the world.

	EgyptSites - Rameses III
		Beneath the foundations of Hatshepsut's temple archaeologists have found traces of an even older construction that dates back to the early Dynasty XVIII and to the Middle Kingdom, and the rites performed here were probably very ancient, so it is not surprising that they survived long after Rameses III's mortuary cult had disappeared.
		Texts suggest that Amun was worshipped in association with the group of eight primeval creation gods known as the Ogdoad, as well as in his earlier form of Kematef (a serpent creator deity) also known as 'The Ba of Osiris', said like the Ogdoad to be buried at the Mound of Djeme.
		The oldest part of the small temple is centred around the three shrines at the rear of the structure, dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khons.

	Document sans-titre
		À l'aube des temps, dit-on, le serpent Kematef, "celui qui accomplit son temps", émergea du Noun à l'exact emplacement de la ville de Thèbes.
		Épuisés par leur uvre colossale, ils s'en revinrent à Thèbes et, comme Kematef et Irta, s'endormirent à jamais.
		Dans cette cosmogonie, le clergé thébain a voulu faire d'Amon le ba de Kematef, c'est-à-dire qu'Amon, en tant que dieu créateur, se manifeste sous les aspects de Kematef, auquel il se substitue en quelque sorte.

	Amun: The Hidden One
		While Amun is known as the "Hidden One" He is also referred to as he "Lord to the Limit", Lord Who Created All Things," He was also connected with the ancient Libyan word for Water (aman).
		As part of the Divine Triad at Thebes (Amun, Mut and Khonsu), He was also known as Amun Kematef, a member of the Ogdoad, or the Eight Primordials where He is called "He Who Has Completed His Moment" and was considered a creator-god wo could take the form of a snake shedding his skin.
		Another form of Amun is that of an ithyphalic form, closely related to and resembling the Netjer Min.

	Avebury and the Dark Star
		The parallels are even closer when you bear in mind the presence of the dragon, or serpent itself:
		In both cases, the serpent seems to me to be the Cosmic Dragon, equivalent to the serpent deity Kematef in Egyptian mythology, the deity Chnoubis among early Hermeticists, and certainly with the Mithraic 'kosmokrator', or 'keeper of cosmic time' (9).
		A third example of ancient trinity symbolism involving an anomalous, but all-powerful central deity, is that of the Ugaritic Bal of Canaan (10), here shown between the Sun and Moon, with its own 'Winged Disc' symbolism.

	VI RELIGION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A number of Greek sources mention a deity whose name is variously given as Kmhf, Knhf, or Kmhfij.
		The name is derived, as was already demonstrated by Sethe, from Egyptian Kematef (Km-At=f) and must be distinguished from Kamhfij / Kamutef.
		Brief comments are given to the occurrences of Kmhf in the Greek sources, including some magical texts.

	Nibiru symbols on ancient artefacts
		It takes the form of a Gnostic gem showing a lion-headed serpent.
		This strange image is connected with both Pagan and Early Christian imagery, being equivalent to the kosmokrator of the Roman cult of Mithras, of the Egyptian cosmic serpent Kematef, and the Hermetic deity Chnoubis.
		Its form includes symbolism clearly indicative of its celestial nature, linked with the First Decan of the Lion, and more generally with the Zodiac (6).

		Regelmatig wordt hij daarom ook met de god Noen, de vertegenwoordiger van het oerwater, geïdentificeerd.
		Verder is hij Tatjenen, de chtonische oergod van Memphis (in latere tijden met Ptah versmolten), of Kematef, die alle goden geschapen heeft, en tevens wordt hij aangeduid als Ir-ta (“diegene die de aarde gemaakt heeft”), een ander aspect van Tatjenen.
		Verder wordt hij als universele godheid uiteraard geïdentificeerd met Re, de scheppergod die voortkwam uit het oerwater voor de eerste zonsopkomst.
