History
"Among other things, Nephthys was associated with the liminality between the human and divine aspects. As such, she was often linked with pharaohs and priests, who were the ancient Egyptians' liaisons between the mortal and divine realms. As intermediaries, pharaohs and priests were more than just political and religious leaders; they were responsible for their peoples' relationships with the gods and goddesses watching over their realm. The nebty is a name for the symbols of Wadjet and Nekhbet - a rearing cobra and a griffon, respectively - which appear together in numerous instances, most notably the headdresses of pharaohs. A particularly salient example is the famed funerary mask of Tutankhamun. The nebty symbol represented divine protection and justified its wearer's authority as deriving from supernatural sources. Ancient Egyptians even believed that it could spew fire at the pharaoh's adversaries."
