As a separate deity, Min-Amun linked the properties of Min and Amun in Egyptian mythology . He's been occupied since the second split.
Min-Amun
In the New Kingdom he is depicted as an enthroned mummy or an ithyphallic god with the crown of amunas; behind his back a scourge can be seen in his raised hands . The Min chapel or the Min plant is also shown.
A hymn from the time of the New Kingdom describes Min-Amun in his earlier capacity as Min of Koptus :
“The gods love its smell when it comes from Punt . Rich in fragrance when he descends from Medja . He is the Horus of the east who creates the silver and gold of the desert as well as the lapis lazuli and all kinds of incense in the land of the Medjai . "
The “beautiful feast of the procession from Min-Amun to his stairs” is documented in the Kushite period. Two processional parades for the 1st and 15th Schemu I to "his birthplace" are known from Greco-Roman times .

As a rare special form, Min-Amun is documented as Amun-Min on a stele in Koptos . In addition, Amun-Min appears in this context as "Amun-Min in Thebes", "Amun-Min in Koptos", "Amun-Min at the two places", "Amun-Min in the tent of the gods" and "Amun-Min- Horus ”.
However, the regular manifestation is either "Min-Amun" or "Min-Amun in Koptos". In Egyptology , the rare spelling "Amun-Min" is understood as a derived name of Min-Amun.
