| Abstract | ||||
| sin (the Rapid) is the 54th genie of the 77 guardian genies of Pharabaithos (Horbeit), emanations of god Ḥr-Mrty who were charged to protect Ra, and later became the delegates of the lord of the universe god Ra-Atum to protect the body of Osiris. The massive granite sarcophagi dated to the 30th dynasty, that held the remains of the sacred bulls at Horbeit, are the first examples of the 77 guardian genies and their cosmic functions. sin first appeared in the Lae Period on the walls of the temples and tombs, as well as on the sides of the sarcophagi. The striking idea is that (sin) which means (the Rapid), is not only the main name of the 54th guardian genie of Pharabaithos, but it is also the name of one of the group divine beings DAisw, or a part of compound names of some genies, and it is also an epithet of some deities to describe their rapidity, and all of these deities have different functions and forms. This research aims to study the 54th guardian genie of Pharabaithos (sin), and all the deities who bear the name and the epithet (sin), describe their different forms, and to shed light on their different functions. | ||||
