	In [[Egyptian mythology]], '''Menthu''' was a hawk-god of war. [[Bakha]] the bull-god was his [[avatar]]. Menthu's name is technically transcribed from Egyptian hieroglyphs as ''mn<u>t</u>w''. Because of the difficulty in transcribing Egyptian, it is often ~~realised~~ as ''Mentju'', ''Montju'', ''Menthu'', ''Ment'', ''Month'', ''Montu'' or ''Mont''. Montu’s name means "Nomad." A powerful royal god, he made pharaohs victorious in battle. Montu was the patron of all manner of martial arts and warfare, strength, and masculine virility. He was pictured as a falcon-headed or bull-headed man who wore the sun-disc, with two plumes on his head. Montu was also associated with a white bull with a black face, called Buchis. Egypt’s greatest general-kings called themselves "Mighty Bulls," the sons of Montu. Montu was thought to be the son of Amun and Mut.		In [[Egyptian mythology]], '''Menthu''' was a hawk-god of war.

	The [[Stele of Revealing]] was prepared for (and possibly by) [[Ankh-f-n-khonsu]], a priest of Mentu. On the obverse of the <i>Stele</i> he is referred to as "The deceased, priest of Monthu, Lord of Thebes. . . ." On the reverse, he is again described as "the Osiris (i.e. the deceased), the priest of Monthu (Mentu), Lord of Thebes, the one who opens the doors of the sky in Karnak, the justified Ankh-f-n-Khonsu." These words were paraphrased by [[Aleister Crowley]] in [[The Book of the Law]] as:		The [[Stele of Revealing]] was prepared for (and possibly by) [[Ankh-af-na-khonsu]], a priest of Mentu.
