Aqen was a rarely mentioned
ancient Egyptian deity of the underworld. He is first mentioned in the famous
Book of the Dead. There, he guided the sun god
Ra as the "protector of Ra's celestial bark" by "bringing the
shen-ring to his majesty". He was also described as the "mouth of the time", from which the gods and demons pulled the "rope of time", as described in the tomb of king
Seti I.[1][2]
