C. Seawright , Animals and the Gods of Ancient Egypt, Ram, RamBa - The ram was sacred to Banebdjedet, ram-god of Mendes, and Khnum the god who
created men on his pottery wheel. Amun also had a ram form, though this
was a different species of sheep. Rams were a symbol of fertility, and
as such, the fertility god Heryshef took the form of a ram or a
ram-headed man.
