Most of Upper Egypt became unified under rulers from Abydos during the Naqada III period (3200–3000 BCE), at the expense of rival cities such as Nekhen. [7] The conflicts leading to the supremacy of Abydos may appear on numerous reliefs of the Naqada II period, such as the Gebel el-Arak Knife, or the frieze of Tomb 100 at Hierakonpolis.

This deity appears in the Temple of Seti I at Abydos. [2] In Egyptian art, Wepwawet was depicted as a black jackal, or as a man with the head of a jackal.
