Wadjet, also called the Green One, is an ancient Egyptian goddess, said to be the patron and protector of all Egypt. She was often depicted as a snake-headed woman or a woman with two snake heads. She could also appear as uraeus with the sundisk, and cobras were her sacred animals.
By the 1st century BCE during the Ptolemaic dynasty, a cult was established that worshipped her and dedicated itself to eliminating Greek influence in the country. However, their actions were eventually shut down by the Medjay, Bayek of Siwa, in 48 BCE.[1]
