Aker is an earth god who also presided over the western and eastern boarders of the Underworld, the guardian of a gate. In the later period of Egyptian theology the two lions making up the Akeru were named Sef and Tuau - 'yesterday' and 'today' respectively. He is both a earth and horizon deity. Aker often became referred to as Ruti, the Egyptian word meaning two lions.

He is a very ancient and primeval concept still seen today.
