Montu
Montu was an ancient Egyptian god of war, worshipped in the Theban region and shown with a falcon's head crowned by a sun disc and two plumes. His cult centres included Armant, Medamud and Tod, and he rose to prominence under the Eleventh Dynasty, whose kings took the name Mentuhotep, 'Montu is satisfied'. He was later overshadowed by Amun of Thebes.
