HEH

 

 

Heh represented 'infinity', 'eternity' or literally 'millions and millions'.

He is shown as a kneeling man holding a notched palm ribs, hieroglyphic symbol for 'year'

He, with his wife Heket one of four original pairs created by Thoth.

He was shown holding two braches (called Renpet) of the Persea palm where the years of time had been carved in. This was the old traditional way that the Egyptians kept track on the current of years passing by. At the bottom of each staff was a ring (sometimes with Heh's animal the frog) - the sign for eternity in time or an infinite number. No temple cult was held to Heh as he was rather a personification of an abstract spirit.

He was connected with the god of the air - Shu, and sits in simple clothing on a stool formed like the Egyptian hieroglyph for "gold" - nub, which is a depiction of a golden necklace.
