Abstract
Goddess Iwnyt was incorporated into the local ennead of Karnak in the New kingdom. Along with the goddess Tennyt, she was venerated as the consort of the ancient falcon war god Montu in the town of Armant (Hermonthis). Her name means 'she of Armant' and although the goddess first appears in reliefs dated to the reign of Mentuhotep III of the 11th dynasty, it is thought that she may have been worshipped there from early times. It is perhaps possible that she is the goddess of the same name mentioned in the Pyramid Texts (PT.1066). The female deity Raet, although known from the Theban region, seems to be related to Iwnyt and may possibly represents a solar aspect of the goddess of Armant. The aim of the research is to focus on the relation between Iwnyt and Sobek through the scenes and its accompanied texts in the temples of the New kingdom
