Andjety was the ancient Egyptian deity of the ninth Nome in lower Egypt, centered at Andjet, which was known as Busiris to the Greeks. He was also known by the names Anezti or Andjety and is considered one of the earliest Egyptian gods, possibly with roots in prehistoric times. Andjety is thought to have been a precursor of Osiris. Andjety he is depicted holding the crook and flail and has part of the Atef crown (the two feathers). King Sneferu of the Fourth Dynasty, builder of the first complete pyramid, is shown wearing the crown of Andjety. In the Pyramid texts the dead king is identified with Andjety. In the temple of Seti I at Abydos, the king is shown offering incense to Osiris-Andjety1 who is accompanied by Isis. He also is shown to have fertility aspects, being known by the epithet of "bull of vultures". His name is sometimes written with a stylized uterus in place of the feathers in the hieroglyphs.
