Imentet (Ament, Amentent or Imentit, signifying "She of the West") was a goddess in antiquated Egyptian religion addressing the necropolises west of the Nile.
She was the associate of Aqen, a divine being who directed Ra through pieces of the hidden world. In spite of the fact that she was rarely authoritatively adored, she was referenced in different psalms and entries of the Book of the Dead.
As goddess of the perished, she lived in a tree watching out at the passageway to the Duat (Underworld). Her principle work, other than being a minor ripeness goddess, was to offer food and drink to the recently dead, which would reestablish their spirits enough to make a trip to the "field of reeds" which was basically heaven in antiquated Egyptian religion, nonetheless, she was so firmly connected with Hathor and Isis in their existence in the wake of death jobs that she might be less an autonomous divinity than a substitute type of those two goddesses.
She was typically portrayed as a sovereign in robes wearing the pictograph for "west" on her head and a staff and an ankh in her grasp. She frequently shows up in burial chambers inviting the perished into existence in the wake of death, in some cases with wings, and now and then as a Kite as a result of her association with Isis and Nephthys.
Her title "She of the West" isn't only an articulation identified with geology, yet in addition related as her part in folklore on the grounds that, as the sun sets towards the west, it was to be joined by death, which was the place where Imentet generally ruled. Moreover, amenti (or amentet) was believed to be the place where the sun set, and where the passage to the Underworld was found, albeit later the term started to connect itself with memorial parks and burial chambers too.
