It's the #DayOfAres / Mars' Day / #Tuesday! 🗡️
For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Apedemak was a war god worshipped by the Meroitic peoples inhabiting #Kush (modern #Sudan). He was often depicted with a male human torso and a #lion head but has no Egyptian counterpart. He is considered a god of conquest, military prowess, and empire and is involved in the process of electing and legitimising new leaders, as seen in the Temple of Musawwarat es-Sufra.
