	Ancient Egypt - Samannud, central Delta town
		In his history Manetho described Sebennytos as being the town from which Nectanebo I Kheperkara (30th Dynasty) launched his offensive against the Persian invaders of the Delta.
		The temple was probably linked to the town and temple of Sebennytos, home of the Dynasty XXX kings towards the end of the Late Period, as well as to the nearby Nome capital of Busiris.
		The modern village derives its name from the ancient 'Per-Hebit’, meaning 'The domain of the Festive Goddess’ and the temple, 'Hebit’, seems to refer to a festival pavillion dedicated to the goddess Isis and the funerary rites with which she was associated.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - Manetho, Egypt's Most Famous Historian
		Even the exact meaning of his name has been a point of discussion among Egyptologists and although it is now generally agreed upon that the name "Manetho" comes from the Ancient Egyptian mniw-htr, which means "keeper of the horses", the existence of such a name is not attested by Ancient Egyptian sources.
		Manetho lived in Sebennytos, the capital of Egypt during the 30th Dynasty, and was a priest during the reigns of Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II.
		He is said to have been involved in the creation of the cult of Serapis - a god added to the Egyptian pantheon with both Hellenistic and Egyptian traits during the reign of Ptolemy I -, but this can not be confirmed.

		The original focus of the Anhur cult lay at This, near Abydos in Upper Egypt.

		Around her myths and legends have accumulated, together with a mystery cultus which have given her a unique position in the Goddess cult, notwithstanding the fact that she was not herself a Mother/goddess comparable to Inanna/Ishtar, or Nut, or Hathor and Neith.
		Originally, as we have seen, she was a predynastic goddess of the Twelfth Nome of Lower Egypt, Sebennytos, and in all probability it was there that she was first incorporated in the Osiris tradition which came from Djedu, the capital of the Ninth Nome, Per/Usire, the ‘house of Osiris’.
		Since her name means ‘seat’ or ‘throne’ it is very probable that originally she was the deified throne, as we have seen, and since enthronement has long been an essential element in royal installation, ‘the throne which made the king’ readily would become the Great Mother charged with the mysterious power of kingship.
