Talk:Bat (goddess)

Bata and Bat

Bata is an Egyptian male god, and Bat is the name of the goddess. Please read Susan T. Hollis, in: Chronique d'Égypte 59, 1984, page 248-257, where you can find more literature concerning Bata the male god.. Please excuse my bad English. Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 14:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I found out that you need references or sources for the female god Bat. Here is the best reference: Lexikon der Ägyptologie I, Wiesbaden 1975, 630-632. The best way to solve the problem is moving the article Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess). Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 23:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Now I edited this article by myself. You only have to move Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess), because I do not dare it. Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 19:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I am very disappointed that I got no answer since May 24th 2007 in the Talk: Bata (goddess). Now I’ll move Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess) myself. She is really written B3t, not Bata (cf. Faulkner, Pyramid Texts, Utterance 506, p. 181). You can find a new article concerning Bata (god), which I started today. With kindest regards --Gudrun Meyer 20:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

assertions in article

I want to edit this article and I find it is full of statements which are widely quoted across the internet. One is the identification of Bat with the Milky Way - I can't find this in Wilkinson (one of the reference sources) and I intend to remove it. I am going to go through the article and delete anything which is doubtful or unreferenced. Apepch7 (talk) 19:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Vector

This goddess is considered a Major deities on the page List of Egyptian deities so why does it not have a vector? PharaohCrab (talk) 11:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

The deities that do have vectors all have some form of surviving 2-dimensional depiction, with those having remaining paint being preferred to prevent assumptions. Bat doesn't really have any surviving reliefs or paintings from what I can tell, so there wouldn't be any basis for a vector. Star11308 (talk) 17:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I have a similar question about the god Wadj-wer who I know does have some paintings I know it is a bit unrelated but it will not get attention any other way.PharaohCrab (talk) 22:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
