+Anhur was an early Egyptian god of war who was worshipped in Abydos and particularly Thinis within Ancient Egypt. His name is said to mean '(one who) leads back the distant one', which is reflected in myths that tell of Anhur bringing his female counterpart and wife Mehit from Nubia; one of his titles is "slayer of enemies". Anhur was depicted as a bearded man wearing a robe or kilt-like cloth and a headdress with four feathers, and wielded a spear or lance; he was occasionally depicted as a lion-headed god, representing strength and power.
