In Egyptian mythology, Khensit (also spelled Chensit, Khenset), which means "placenta", was the patron goddess of the twentieth nome of Lower Egypt. Chensit was the wife of Sopdu[1] and the daughter of Ra, and was depicted as an uraeus. Khensit and Sopdu were sometimes known as the divine pair of Saft el-Hinna.[2]
Khensit was portrayed in many ways, including as Hathor-Isis.[3]
