  Maahes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first mentions of Maahes occur in the New Kingdom, and many think he was a god of foreign origin; indeed there is some evidence that he may have been copied from the lion-god Apedemak worshipped in Nubia.
However, the first glyph is also part of the glyph for Maàt, meaning truth/order and so it came to be that Maahes was considered to be the devourer of the guilty and protector of the innocent.
Sometimes Maahes was shown with a bouquet of lotuses near him, but he was also depicted as a lion devouring a captive.
