Sekhmet is a goddess in ancient Egyptian religion. She is often described as a fierce warrior goddess and the goddess of healing. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath formed the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare. Her cult was so dominant in the culture that when the first pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty, Amenemhat I, moved the capital of Egypt to Itjtawy, the centre for her cult was moved as well. Religion, the royal lineage, and the authority to govern were intrinsically interwoven in ancient Egypt, and the pharaoh was the divine embodiment of the nation's people. In her role as a protective deity, she was seen as a defender of truth, and upholder of Ma'at (the divine order of the universe), and the law of the land.
