TEFEN

Egyptian Unknown God

Egyptian God of Utter Obscurity

His name pops up in the Pyramid texts as consort — or even just a very good friend — of Tefnut. And then promptly vanishes again.

Who is he? What does he do? We, like everyone else, are stumped. The most likely theory is that he was a deity who wasn’t very popular and gradually faded into obscurity, leaving his wife to grab all the glory.

Of course it could all be a silly spelling mistake – in hieroglyphic form Tefen is almost the same as Tefnut. Ancient typographical error?
