Harsomtus (also known as Harsomptus and Somtus) was an ancient Egyptian child god with main cult places at Dendera and Edfu. This less-known deity was worshipped from the Old Kingdom period all the way to Graeco-Roman Egypt. Popularity of Harsomtus, along with other child gods, greatly increased in the Graeco-Roman period, with most information coming from that era. The connection with Horus had formed early, and Harsomtus is considered by researchers to be a form of Ra or Horus. His name translates to "Horus who unites the two lands."
