In Egyptian mythology, Menhit (also spelt Menchit) was originally a foreign war goddess, and the female counterpart, and thus wife, to Anhur.
It was said that she had come from Nubia with Anhur.
Due to the agressive attributes possessed by lions, most things connected to warfare in Egypt were depicted as leonine (lion-like), and Menhit was no exception, being depicted as a lion-goddess.

 Mut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lower and upper Egypt both already had a patron deity – Wadjet and Nekhbet respectively, indeed they also had lioness protector deities – Bast and Sekhmet respectively, and consequently, as Thebes rose to even greater prominence, so these goddesses were absorbed by Mut in turn.
First, Mut became Mut-Wadjet-Bast, then Mut-Sekhmet-Bast (Wadjet having merged into Bast), then Mut also assimilated Menhit, who was also a lioness goddess, and her adopted son's wife, becoming Mut-Sekhmet-Bast-Menhit, and finally becoming Mut-Nekhbet.
The authority of Thebes later waned, and Amun was assimilated into Ra, Mut, the doting virgin mother, was assimilated into Ra's wife, Hathor, the lusty cow-goddess and mother of Horus.
