Reason for deletion: another name for the same creature, Ab-Esh-Imy-Duat.


Ab-Sha-Am-Tuat - Guarding the Tomb of Osiris in the seventh section of the Egyptian Underworld known as Duat, this monstrous crocodile dwells in the hidden chamber containing the resting place of the deceased deity, and it is said that when Ra passes the monster on his solar journey he mesmerises it using magical incantations. This allows Osiris, buried underneath the crocodile, to raise his head and gaze at Ra, thus meaning that the followers of Osiris are also returned to life.
