Berber gods

Gurzil was an ancient Berber deity. In the Latin poem Iohannis by the 6th-century poet Corippus, he is the son of Ammon and a cow. The poem mentions multiple representations of the god, including a depiction as a bull which was taken into battle. It has been suggested that Gurzil's name is related that of the settlement of Ghirza, from which archaeological remains include a temple and an inscription and relief pertaining to the sacrifice of cattle. In the 11th century AD, the Muslim writer al-Bakrī mentioned a sanctuary at a place named "Gherza", which may be the same as Ghirza.
