Ptah is the god of the city of Memphis, lord of truth, creator of the god, and one of the oldest ancient Egyptians. known also as Ptah-Nun or Ptah-Naunet. He is one of the oldest gods in Egyptian mythology; he is even confused with the sun god Ra.
He is depicted as a mummified man wearing a skull cap and holding the Was scepter combined with the ankh and the Djed forming the scepter of authority. He is the patron god of sculptors, craftsmen, builders, or any artists of any kind. One of the most remarkable facts about Ptah is that the name Egypt was derived from the Greek word Aigyptos which corresponds to the word Hat-Ka-Ptah which means “Temple of the Soul of Ptah” located in Memphis.

Origin and symbolism
Ptah is an Egyptian deity and considered the demiurge who existed before all other things and, by his will, thought the world into existence. It was first conceived by Thought, and realized by the Word: Ptah conceives the world by the thought of his heart and gives life through the magic of his Word. That which Ptah commanded was created, with which the constituents of nature, fauna, and flora, are contained. He also plays a role in the preservation of the world and the permanence of the royal function.
In the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty, the Nubian pharaoh Shabaka would transcribe on a stela known as the Shabaka Stone, an old theological document found in the archives of the library of the temple of the god at Memphis. This document has been known as the Memphite Theology, and shows the god Ptah, the deity responsible for the creation of the universe by thought and by the word.
Ptah is the patron of craftsmanship, metalworking, carpenters, shipbuilders, and sculpture.
He bears many epithets that describe his role in ancient Egyptian religion and its importance in society at the time:
