Wast

Wast, also known as Uat or Uatchet, is an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with the city of Thebes and regarded as a protector of the region. Represented as a woman or a lioness, Wast embodies strength and is often linked to the protection of the pharaoh. The recent discovery of a relief depicting King Ramses III, with Wast appearing behind him, underscores her significance in the ceremonial practices of the time and her role in the divine endorsement of the king's reign.
