  • SEKHMET   Sekhmet (Sakhmet)  is one of the oldest known  Egyptian  deities . Her name is derived from the  Egyptian  word " Sekhem " (which means "power" or "might") and is often translated as the "Powerful One" or "She who is Powerful". She is depicted as a lion -headed  woman, sometimes with the addition of a sun disc on her head. Her seated statues show her holding the ankh of life, but when she is shown striding or standing she usually holds a sceptre formed from papyrus (the symbol of northern or Lower  Egypt ) suggesting that she was associated primarily with the north. However, some scholars argue that the deity was introduced from Sudan (South of  Egypt ) where lions are more plentiful.
  • SEKHMET's  name comes from the  Ancient Egyptian  word  sekhem , which means "power or might".  Sekhmet's  name is thus translated as "the (one who is) powerful or mighty". She also was given titles such as the "(One) Before Whom Evil Trembles", "Mistress of Dread", "Lady of Slaughter" and "She Who Mauls".
  • SEKHMET   was often closely associated with  Hathor  (the goddess of joy, music, dance, sexual love, pregnancy and birth). In this partnership, she was seen as the harsh aspect of the friendly  Hathor . A temple was constructed by Amenemhet II to  Sekhmet-Hathor  at Kom el Hisn (Imau in the western Delta) in which she and  Hathor  are referred to as the "Mistress of Imau". Imau was situated near a branch of the Nile that has since shifted eastwards, but in ancient times the town was right on the edge of the desert on the route to the Libyan frontier. Clearly it was hoped that  Sekhmet  would protect the border.
