Babi

He originated in Heliopolis but he had no formalized worship. He is pictured as a monkey or a reddish - brown dog, or as a baboon (in the predynastic period baboons where throught to be ancesors for example Narmer is depicted in some images as having be transformed into a baboon).

Since baboons were considered to be the dead, Babi was viewed as an underworld deity. Babi was viewed as being very bloodthirsty and living on entrails. Consequently, he was viewed as devouring the souls of the unrighteous after they had been weighed against Ma'at (the concept of truth/order), and was thus said to stand by a lake of fire, representing destruction. Since this judging of righteousness was an important part of the underworld, Babi was said to be the first born son of Osiris, the god of the dead in the same regions in which people believed in Babi.

Babi was considered the god of virility of the dead. He was usually portrayed with an erection, and due to the association with the judging of souls, was sometimes depicted as using it as the mast of the ferry which conveyed the righteous to Aaru, a series of islands. Babi was also prayed to, in order to ensure that an individual would not suffer from impotence after death.
