Crossword Genius

Egyptian god from tops of ancient monument near ruins (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen ra

'egyptian god' is the definition.
(Amen-Ra is an example)

'tops of ancient monument near ruins' is the wordplay.
'tops of' says to take the initial letters.
'ruins' is an anagram indicator.
The first letters of 'ancient monument' is 'am'.
'near' anagrammed gives 'enra'.
'am'+'enra'='AMEN-RA'

'from' acts as a link.
