Description: 

Min is one of the oldest deities in Egyptian mythology, generally associated with fertility, virility, and agriculture. He was depicted as a man with an erect penis, symbolizing his power over procreation, and sometimes shown wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and holding a scepter, reflecting his role as a god of abundance and harvest.

Min was particularly worshipped in the region of Koptos, and over time, he became a god of fertility not only for the land but also for people, ensuring prosperity and descendants. He also had a protective aspect, believed to safeguard the harvests. Over time, his cult merged with that of other gods and eventually became associated with the god Amun, adopting an aspect related to royal power and kingship.
