Abstract

Sefkhet-abwy was the alternate name of goddess Seshat. This name means “seven-horned". This seven-pointed emblem which was appeared on Seshat's head in most of her scenes, was the origin of the name for Seshat. Sefkhet-abwy first appeared in the reign of king Tuthmosis III (dynasty XVIII) and seemed to be  more than a version of Seshat. She was the goddess of writing and temple libraries, and was known as a scribe and record keeper in ancient Egypt. This research aims to spot light on Sefkhet-abwy, her role in the temples and her relationship with the other deities.
