Egyptian mythology created powerful goddesses by blending lion, hippo, crocodile, and human traits together. Fierce species like lions, hippos, and crocodiles were highly respected in ancient Egypt, and combining their strength resulted in a formidable deity that offered effective protection. As the patron of pregnant women, Taweret was responsible for safeguarding them during childbirth. Her image often appeared on tomb walls or funerary artifacts to guard the deceased through the process of rebirth.
