Egypt, way back when:

[Ptah]

Since Ptah was the primordial mound, and had called creation into being,
he was considered the god of craftsmen, and in particular stone-based crafts
Eventually, due to the connection of these things to tombs, and that at Thebes,
the craftsmen regarded him so highly as to say that he controlled their destiny.
Consequently, first amongst the craftsmen, then the population as a whole,
Ptah also became a god of regeneration. Since Seker was also god of craftsmen,
and of regeneration of the sun during the night, Seker was later assimilated
with Ptah becoming Ptah-Seker.
