Editing Mut (section)

===Theban cosmogony===
In Theban creation myths, Mut is depicted as a serpent, who emerged from the primordial waters alongside her father the dt-serpent, a form of [[Amun]]-[[Ra]]. She embodies the [[Uraeus]] crown of the first god and uses her eyes to illuminate the world. She also embodies the stem of the primordial lotus blossom.<ref>Leitz, Christian (2008).''Die zwei Kobras im Urwasser.

[[Amun]] sometimes appears in two distinct forms: [[Kneph|Kematef]], the first creator and father of Mut, and Amun-Irta, who is described as being Kematefs Ba, son, and heir.<ref>Klotz, David (2008). Kneph: The Religion of Roman Thebes. Ann Arbor : ProQuest LLC.</ref>
