Apis - Egyptian Hap, Hep, or Hapi, in ancient Egyptian religion, sacred bull deity worshiped at Memphis.

My comment:

The cult of Apis originated at least as early as the 1st dynasty (c. 2925–c. 2775 BC). Like other bull deities, Apis was probably at first a fertility god concerned with the propagation of grain and herds; but he became associated with Ptah, the paramount deity of the Memphite area, and also with Osiris (as User-Hapi)
