Abtu as word [ edit ]
Abtu was also the ancient word for the western or west of something. This was then understood as the place where the days passage of the sun across the sky finishes so for ancient Egypt where the sun dies each day and passes into the dark underworld.[2]
Abtu as fish [ edit ]
Evidence of Abtu being known as a sacred fish here is taken from “A Hymn Of Praise To Ra When He Riseth In The Eastern Part Of Heaven” as translated by Robert Guisepi (1984):[3]
“Let me behold the Abtu Fish at his season.”
Furthermore, the goddess Isis is said to have transformed into the Abtu, perhaps therefore lending to the creature its sacred state.[4] [5] Oxyrhynchus . The fish cult spread to many parts of Egypt.[6]
Abtu in myth [ edit ]
The mythological Abtu also was known to accompany the barque of Ra [7]
