MNEVIS

also called Menuis, Egyptian Nemur, Greek form of Merwer, in ancient Egyptian religion, sacred bull deity worshiped at Heliopolis. As one of several sacred bulls in Egypt, he was most closely associated with the sun god Re-Atum. Although not attested until later, the cult of Mnevis probably dated to the 1st dynasty (c. 2925c. 2775 BC), if not earlier. The Mnevis bull was either black or piebald in colour, and in sculptures and paintings he was represented with a solar disc between his horns.
