Ha (mythology)

In Egyptian mythology, Ha was a god of the deserts to the west of Egypt. He was associated with the underworld, Duat and pictured as a man wearing the symbol for desert hills on his head.^{[citation needed]}

As Lord of the Desert Ha fought off enemies from the west, probably referring to invading tribes from Libya. He was also thought be responsible for the creation of oases.^{[citation needed]}

The dinosaur Hagryphus "Ha's Griffin" was named after Ha; it was discovered in Utah and Ha's association with "the Western Desert" was carried over to the New World.^{[citation needed]}
