Τι λενε οι συγχρονοι για την προελευση της Νηιθ απο τη Λιβυη.
It has been suggested these hunting and war features of Neith's imagery may indicate her origin from Libya, located west and southwest of Egypt, where she was the goddess of the combative peoples there.

According to several historical records, the Libyan birthplace of the Goddess Neith was also the traditional homeland of the warrior women known as the Libyan Amazons, in the western parts of Libya, particularly around the legendary Lake Tritonis (southern Tunisia today).

The Delta city of Sais was the centre of the worship of the Libyan Goddess Neith, the inhabitants of which were mostly of Libyan Berber origin.

In contrast, some of the deities which the Egyptians worshipped had their origins in Libya. For example, Neith, identified as an early Egyptian predecessor of the Greek worshipped goddess Athena, and was stated by her Egyptian worshippers to have migrated from Libya to build her temple at Sais in the Nile Delta10.
They believed that Neith/Athena was born at Lake Tritonis, which is mentioned as being in Libya. Some historians are inclined to place Lake Tritonis at the modern day southeastern Gulf of Sirte, while others have identified its possible location at the mouth of the Triton River in modern day Tunisia, near the Gulf of Gabes11.

Neith (Nit, Neit, Net) is a goddess, perhaps of Libyan origin, who had several divine attributes.

She was adopted from Libya (or She was a divinity of the local Libyan population in Egypt).

Neith, a primeval war goddess, was worshipped in Sais and in the western (Libyan) part of the Delta. The Greeks identified her with Athena.

I present evidence that Athena was widely considered in antiquity
to be the same goddess as the Egyptian Neith and that many aspects
of her iconography, mythology, and cult indicate that she was not just
the “Greek equivalent” of a foreign deity, but that she was Neith, trans-
planted to Greece from Egypt. Her birthplace was considered to be the
legendary Lake Tritonis in North Africa, and it was there that she was
said to have killed her comrade Pallas. The act resembles the combat
ritual that the historical Ausean maidens of Libya enacted to determine
who among them were “true” parthenoi, a detail that may subtly indicate
that the Auseans once attempted the practice of divine birth. Like Neith,
Athena was a “virgin,” warrior goddess, and patroness of weaving, whose
virginal peplos was a main feature of her cult at Athens

See, many scholars think Neith came to Egypt from somewhere else. Some think she started out as a goddess called Ta-nit (or Tanith) in Tunisia or Libya.

The worship of Neith dates back to Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods of ancient Egypt. Some accounts have even claimed that due to her hunting and war characteristics, her worship likely came from regions in Libya.
