Weneg, Egyptian Gods

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.
