Bakha

In Egyptian mythology, Bakha (also spelt Bakh, Buchis, and Bukhis) was a deification of the wild bull in the region of Hermonthis. Because wild bulls can be very aggressive when slightly provoked, Bakha became considered the Ba (power/influence/strength of personality) of the war god of the region, who was Menthu.
A wild bull was chosen and said to be the Bukhis incarnation of Menthu, in which position it was worshipped as such. Over time, the criteria for choosing the bull became more rigid, fixing themselves on what had been simply the general appearance of bulls in the region, being a white body and black face. When these bulls, or their mothers, died, they were mummified, and placed in a special cemetery known as the Bucheum.
Eventually, the Bakha was identified as a form of the Apis, and consequently became considered an incarnation of Osiris. The worship of the bull in this form lasted until about 362 AD, when it was destroyed by rising Christian fundamentalism, in the Roman empire.
