Maahes
In Egyptian mythology, Maahes (also spelled Mihos, Miysis, Maihes, and Mahes) was a lion-god. The first mentions of Maahes occur in the New Kingdom, and some European archeologists have purported that Ma'ahes was of foreign origin; indeed there is some evidence that he may have been analogous with the lion-god Apedemak worshipped in Nubia and Egypt's Western Desert.
