The '''[[Oracle of Amun]]''' was a solitary [[oracle]] temple located at the Siwa Oasis in Western Egypt near Libya devoted to the [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian god]] [[Amun-Ra]]. Although the oasis is known to have been settled since at least the 10th millennium BC, the earliest evidence of any connection with Ancient Egypt is the 26th Dynasty, when a necropolis was established and temple were built sometime between 663 - 535 BC. Prior to arrival of the Greeks with Alexander the Great, Herodotus knew of a "fountain of the [[Sun]]" at Siwa that ran coldest in the noontime heat.

An individual Lilith, along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish occult incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the demon. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.
