Everything devourer is the name of the ancient Egyptian border god in Amduat , which is only documented during the New Kingdom . It represented the gateway from the 1st to the 2nd hour of the night . The sun god Re passed the goblet of the omnivor in his sun barge in order to reach the Wernes area at dusk .
“It is said by the underworld gods when this great god (Re) enters the (gate)“ All-Devourer ”, when he has traveled the“ waters of the Re ”to Wernes: Oh appear. Big ba ! "
