Montu was a warrior god who started to be the state's main god during the 11th dynasty. He was associated with King Montuhotep I (“Montu is satisfied”), who reunited Upper and Lower Egypt after problems in what is known as the First Intermediate Period. During the Twelfth Dynasty, Montu was displaced by the rise of Amun, but he took on the true attributes of a war god when warrior kings such as Thutmose III and Rameses II identified themselves with him.
