Nephut-Sha was the High Priest serving under Pharaoh Ramses II in ancient Egypt. Nephut-Sha wanted vengeance on Moses (the famous Jewish prophet). To this end, Nephut-Sha prayed to the Egytian god Seth. Seth answered Nephut-Sha's prayer by turning him into the demons Gog and Magog, in order to oppose Moses.
