Meaning of MNEWER in English

[Egyptian] In Egyptian mythology, Mnewer is the sacred black bull of Heliopolis, worshipped as a god for its virility and its oracles. It was also regarded as an emissary of the sun god, and therefore represented with a solar disk between its horns. Many festivities were held in honor of this bull. The deceased bulls were embalmed and buried at Heliopolos.
