Apedemak

Apedemak or Apademak was a lion-headed warrior god worshiped by the Meroitic peoples inhabiting Nubia. A number of Meroitic temples dedicated to this deity are known from the Butana region: Naqa, Meroë, and Musawwarat es-Sufra, which seems to be his chief religious place. In the temple of Naqa built by the rulers of Meroë, Apedemak was depicted as a three-headed leonine god with four arms and as a snake with a lion head. However, he is usually depicted as a man with a lion head.

Apedemak was a minor deity in the ancient Egyptian religion, being instead a product of the Meroitic culture.
