Heh is the god of infinity and millions of years, the personification of endless time. He is shown kneeling, holding a notched palm rib in each hand, the hieroglyph for 'year,' often with a tadpole and shen-ring at his side signing eternity itself. His raised arms supported the sky as one of the eight Ogdoad deities of the primeval waters. Amulets in his image were laid in tombs to grant the dead unending years, and kings wove his name into their titles as a wish that their reign endure without end.
