All of the Ancient Egyptian deities were anthropomorphic. Sometimes they had human bodies with animal heads, sometimes animal bodies with human head or even full human/animal bodies.
One of the most senior gods, Horus, was representative of kingship, the sky, and resurrection. He was also depicted with Falcons. Guess what dance move the falcon does(for depth to help see prey better)?
It is so interesting to see the movement and fluidity of Frodo's head movement, so similar to a gimble!

Further more the Beja call this dance the Hadandiwa, named after a clan;
“According to Roper (1930), the name Haɖanɖiwa is made up of haɖa 'lion' and (n)ɖiwa 'clan'. Other variants are Haɖai ɖiwa, Hanɖiwa and Haɖaatʼar (children of lioness)”
This leads you to a several cult followings but because of the Bejas locations and the fact they call they’re hereditary chief “Ma'ahes” we can zero in at the Egyptian god Maahes, part of the Colossal Triad of Memphis. Two of these triads was represented by a feline and another a lion. Both keep their heads level for depth perception while their bodies move on the hunt. Also maahes is associated with knifes/swords.
