Khonsu (also Chonsu, Khensu, Khons, Chons or Khonshu) is the Ancient Egyptian god of the moon. His name means "traveller", and this may relate to the nightly travel of the moon across the sky. Along with Thoth he marked the passage of time. Khonsu was instrumental in the creation of new life in all living creatures. At Thebes he formed part of a family triad (the "Theban Triad") with Mut as his mother and Amun his father.

The Theban Triad are three Egyptian gods that were the most popular in the area of Thebes, in Egypt. The group consisted of Amun, his consort Mut and their son Khonsu.
The triad was favored by both the 18th and the 25th Dynasty. These gods were the primary objects of worship of the massive temple complex at Karnak, although temples and shrines exist throughout Egypt, such as one at Deir el-Hagar close to the Dakhla Oasis.[1] Amenhotep I, the pharaoh who built Karnak, was often depicted among these gods.
