Which ram-headed god was believed to create people on a potter's wheel?

The story behind the answer

Khnum is correct: the ram‑headed creator god who fashioned humans on a potter’s wheel, molding their bodies—and even their ka—from Nile clay. As lord of the First Cataract at Elephantine, he governed the life-giving inundation that deposited the silt he used in myth to create people.

Memory tip: “Khnum kneads.” Although Amun can wear ram horns, he is the “hidden” god (later Amun-Ra), not the divine potter. Ra is the sun god, and Horus is the falcon-headed sky and kingship deity. Picture Khnum at his wheel as the Nile rises—creation as careful craftsmanship.
