Chet-aat ẖt-ˁ3t The great (gods) corporation |
||||||
In Egyptian mythology, Chet-aat was the ancient Egyptian name for a community of gods, which is documented for the first time in the Pyramid Texts (PT) under the name Chet-aat .
In PT 476 the deceased king is described as "belonging to the great corporation", whereby "the great divine corporation existed before the Ninth of Heliopolis arose". In connection with the "great corporation", Horus bore the names "shining star" and "the golden one". The ancient Egyptian god Weneg is also mentioned in PT 476 in this context.
In Greco-Roman times , the "Ninth of Helipolis" was referred to as the "great body of the Ninth".
