Inancient Egyptian religion,Aani orAana is the dog-headed ape sacred to the Egyptian godThoth.^[1]^[2] "One of the Egyptian names of theCynocephalus Baboon, which was sacred to the god Thoth."^[3]

The Egyptian hieroglyphic word for "baboon" isjꜥnꜥ in the German style of transliteration. Attested roughly forty times in extant literature, this word refers to the animal itself.^[4] Many Egyptian gods can manifest in a baboon aspect or have other associations with the animal, including

Hapy, a god who protects the canopic jar containing the lungs after embalming.^[5]
Khonsu, a god known as “eater of hearts” in the Pyramid Texts.^[6]
Thoth, a god of reason and writing: “And so the Baboon of Thoth came into being,” says one 18th Dynasty text.^[7]

Animal iconography does not imply the Egyptians identified the animals concerned as deities themselves. Rather, the animal was an icon, or a large hieroglyph, representing a god.^[8]
