Weneg

A little known god who appears in the Old
Kingdom Pyramid Texts (PT 607, 952), Weneg was a son of the
sun god Ra and seems to symbolize order and stability by
supporting the sky and thus preventing the chaos outside the
cosmos from crashing down upon the world. In this aspect he
bears a different yet related role to that of Ra's daughter
Maat and is also similar to the Heh deities which supported
the sky. Weneg was also said to be a judge of other Egyptian
gods, again perhaps paralleling the judicial role of the
goddess Maat.
