What is Nehebkau?
In [[Egyptian mythology]], '''Nehebkau''' (also spelled '''Nehebu-Kau''', and '''Neheb Ka''') guarded the entrance to [[Duat]], the [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]]ian [[underworld.]] He was made up of [[Ka]] and [[Ba]], the two parts of the [[soul]]. He is pictured as a [[snake]] with two heads. [[Atum]] was said to have to keep his finger on Nehebkau to keep him from being out of control. Since he was a snake, he was believed to heal those bitten by snakes and/or [[scorpion]]s. {{Ancient Egyptian religion footer}} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Egyptian mythology]] [[Category:Egyptian gods and goddesses]]
