		As the power of Memphis grew, their chief god, Ptah, was said to be the original creator, and thus of all the other gods, including any lesser creators, who create the remaining gods having first being created by Ptah.
		In art, Nefertum is usually depicted as a beautiful young man having lotus flowers around his head, although, as the son of Bast, he also sometimes has the head of a lion or is a lion or cat reclining.

		Nefertem - "Tem is Beautiful; the Beauty of Tem" Son of Ptah and Sekhmet of Mennefer, Nefertem is portrayed as a beautiful young man with a lotus flower on His head or holding lotuses.
		Nefertem is patron of both the healing arts and the arts of beautification, though in later periods his newly-introduced younger brother, Imhotep, would assume the healing aspects.
		Nefertem is usually given attributes associated with both the flowers He carries (both their beauty and their narcotic qualities, which were used for medical anesthesia) and their scent, and is especially invoked in the purifications and blessings of offerings involving flowers and perfumes.

	Beauty Secrets of the Ancient Egyptians (Ancient Egypt beauty secrets)
		When Nefertem is presented as an aspect of Re he is depicted as a baby but when Nefertem is an independent deity he is typically depicted as a beautiful, handsome young man wearing a cluster of lotus blooms on his head.
		Nefertem's intrinsically compassionate nature is reaffirmed in legend where he brings to the aging, wounded Re a collection of sacred, beautiful lotuses for the purpose of easing his suffering, giving us a myth with deeper implications when we consider that the science of anesthesia derives from the narcotic properties of certain flowering plants.
		Nefertem's presence is still implicit on Earth, not so much in the modern perfume industry, with its narrower vision of fragrance and floral fragrances are often synthetically reproduced, thus preserving the scent but losing any therapeutic value.

	ISIS: PART ONE
		The Nefertem did not know exactly how long they allowed their sons to be butchered for the sin of being male or how many tears had been shed as the male of species were culled.
		Perhaps they were gods, however the Nefertem decided they cared not for the religious validity of it, abandoning ideology for something greater, a unity that convinced them that the soul would find its own place in the afterlife, requiring nothing from the Gods who claimed sovereignty over it.
		With this new faith in their hearts, the Nefertem prepared to commit the ultimate sacrilege, to renounce the faith and destroy the shackles of the goddesses that had them trapped in a cycle of despair.

		The lion-headed goddess Sekhmet (Sakhmet, Sekhet) was a member of the Memphite Triad, thought to be the wife of Ptah and mother of Nefertem (though the motherhood of Nefertem was in dispute - Bast and Wadjet were touted as his mother in their respective cities).
		Associated with war and retribution, she was said to use arrows to pierce her enemies with fire, her breath being the hot desert wind as her body took on the glare of the midday sun.
		Being mother of Nefertem, who himself was a healing god, gives her a more protective side that manifested itself in her aspect of goddess of healing and surgery.
