Description

Buchis (Egyptian: Bekh) from Armant (Hermonthis) in province fourth of Upper Egypt was one of three great bull cults in Egypt (besides Apis/Memphis and Mnervis/Heliopolis). His cult was continued by the Greeks and after them by the Romans and it lasted until almost 400 A.D. Buchis was a manifestation of Osiris and Re and was also linked to the local god of war and his companion Mentu and later also Amon.

Like Apis (see him) from the northern old capital Memphis a unique looking bull was chosen from a specific pattern of a black head and a white body and was considered a real Buchis and thereby the representation of the two gods Osiris and Re.
Just like in Sakkara the bulls were mummified and put to a final rest at a special cemetery (Latin: Bucheum). In Armant two new local features were added: their cow-mother was buried too and the body was fixed in a standing position on a foundation made of wooden planks.
