The Battle for Kokoda, as a campaign overall, was a disaster to a large extent. This can be seen in the lack of preparation by the Australian troops, such as the supply drops and the AIF troops being sent to an unnecessary location. In addition to this, the terrain and conditions of the track had not been taken into account, which made the battle much harder both physically and strategically. However, possibly the worst mistake was the rivalry between commanders, and the way they treated the Battle for Kokoda like a game, instead of a real battle where people were dying because of their errors.
To what extent was the Battle of Kokoda a disaster? To a large extent the Battle of Kokoda was not a disaster because it ended as a successful defence of Port Moresby and possibly Australia with the allies inflicting heavy casualties on the Japanese while suffering relatively few themselves. The campaign was an overall victory for the allies and caused the Japanese some of their first defeats in the war, stopping their momentum. Then again, if major problems with the allied supply lines hadn’t been resolved and the poorly trained and equipped Militia hadn’t been reinforced, the campaign could have been a disaster and ended as another allied defeat.
The moon god Khonsu, with his name meaning "traveler," may relate to the perceived nightly travel of the moon across the sky. Khonsu was typically shown as a young man with a side lock of hair falling at the side of the face, a uraeus (placed on the headdresses of ancient Egyptian deities and rulers as a sign of great power), and a lunar disk on his head, or as a mummy-like young man. Khonsu was revered in ancient Egyptian religion. Khonsu was said to be the child of the god Amon and the goddess Mut in Egyptian mythology. In the Karnak complex in Thebes, a significant temple for Khonsu was constructed during the late New Kingdom (664 BC to 332 BC).
