Iconograghy
If memory serves correct, a stele depicts King Thotmes III in-between Satis( with White-Crown flanked by 2 (red-)Bull's horns, and her daughter Anuket.(Crowned with a headband with 9; 30cm high feathers, alternatively red, green and yellow. I forget provenance.)A.Muster.

I'm sure there's a source somewhere for Ani's interest in the Nile. That said, the fairly well-sourced treatment at the EB9 clearly describes her as the Elephantine goddess in charge of the entire terrestrial world and considered equivalent to Hestia in the i.g. So it does need sourcing. — Llywelyn II   22:32, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Unsourced weirdness and ampersand
I found this in the text -- "Her features and signs of perverted tastes were found among worshippers & are similar to those are similar to those of the Greek goddess Hestia, who swore to maintain her virginity and Artemis the skilled hunter-gatherer." What the heck? I just came here to check the spelling of her name on a project and i have no time to fix this, so i hope that someone figures out what was meant by t"o maintain her virginity and Artemis" (comma needed?), sources "Her features and signs of perverted tastes" and also changes the "&" to "and." Sorry, all i could do was report. Gotta go. 75.101.104.17 (talk) 23:32, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I suspect "perverted tastes" is a malapropism, as the editor who added this text, User:Lira Rakshit, is well-meaning. But because the text is unsourced, I've put it here until sources can be found to support it:


 * "in the beginning Anqet was the water goddess of Sudan whose name means 'Embrace'. This meant that during the annual flood of the Nile she would embrace the two banks of Nile and make them fertile. The two tributaries of the Nile were called the extended hands of goddess Anuket. which is why she was nicknamed, 'The woman who embraces'. The other titles of Anuket included 'The woman who throws', which is basically an indication of the flood of the Nile. She was also known as 'Life Giver' and 'Women of the sky'. She gradually came to be known as the cupid goddess of ancient Egypt. Her features and signs of perverted tastes were found among worshippers & are similar to those of the Greek goddess Hestia, who swore to maintain her virginity and Artemis the skilled hunter-gatherer."
