Igai - a little-known deity of Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt

Abstract
The scarcity of artefacts and documents attesting the cult Igai justify his classification as one of the more enigmatic deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. Nevertheless, his identification as 'Lord of the Oasis' and the presence of his name on artefacts from Dakhleh Oasis, demonstrates the importance of his cult in this region of the Western Desert of Egypt. This article documents the artefacts of the cult of Igai and, via comparison to other deities venerated in the Western Desert, hypothesises the likely aetiology of this god.
