A comprehensive review of the religious texts; pyramid
texts(l), coffin texts(2), and book of the dead(3), reveals that
numerous names of characters, who resemble gods, appear in
these texts having no reference in the other texts or in the
inscriptions on the walls of temples and/or tombs. The ancient
Egyptians, in their life, did not express any petitions or prays
those characters indicating doubts about their god-being and
whether they were gods acting in the netherworld or they were
spirits who had a definite duty in the netherworld, SO~they
be dealt with as the so called ”godlikes” in this paper.
Among the godlikes under this study whose names
frequently appear in the religious texts, Nhb-Ksw, M3-l).3.f,
ancl,.Cqn are.the godlikes to be considered in this respect. Nhb-kIw was drawn in various snaky forms. The most
important forms are: (1) a great snake having two heads each
with a different neck,(5) and the tail is ended with a snaky
head(6). (Fig. 1,2), (2) a snake having a human limbs with
raising hands to the mouth or carrying a small container, with
w3dteye. This form is also graved on ’the basis of Sekhmet
and Bastet thronesf/), (Fig. 3), and (3) a human form with
snaky head. This form is represented in the ivory.statuesin.
