Meretseger (also known as Mersegrit[1]' or Mertseger) was a Theban cobra-goddess in ancient Egyptian religion,[2] in charge with guarding and protecting the vast Theban Necropolis — on the west bank of the Nile, in front of Thebes — and especially the heavily guarded Valley of the Kings.[3][4][5] Her cult was typical of the New Kingdom of Egypt (1550–1070 BC).[6]
