Abstract

A very little-known god Jmn ḫntj Jpwt.f is mistaken for the host of the Luxor temple. There are only twenty one attested examples of the title, mostly dating to the reign of Sesostris I and early Eighteenth Dynasty. The article emphasizes the meaning of jpt as essential for understanding the character of the god. The epithet seems to be related to the Helipolitan ideology. The god is often represented in ithyphallic form, as a creator god, and, above all, the god who has power to regenerate himself together with the king. He is the one who presents the royal names to the king, which connects him very strongly with the idea of the kingship and the act of the royal coronation.
