Amun-Min
Min was a fertility god worshipped from the Predynastic Period in Egypt onwards, making him one of the oldest Egyptian deities. The Min festival was celebrated in late summer to promote prosperity and bless the harvest. Min was often depicted with an erect phallus and black skin to represent fertility, as the black soil along the Nile river banks was exceedingly fertile.
