Ptah is an ancient Egyptian god and was principally worshipped in Memphis in Lower Egypt. He was believed to be the husband of the lion goddess Sekhmet and the father of Nefertum. He was also considered to be the god of fine arts and craftsmen. It was also considered that Ptah manifested himself in the Apis bull who was buried at Saqqara. He was soon assimilated with the necropolis god Seker becomming Ptah-Seker. Later as Ptah-Seker-Osiris he become assimilated by Osiris, lord of underworld.
