Egyptian Gods

The Egyptians worshipped many gods. In their religion, the world started when the sun god, Amun-Ra (7 and 8) appeared from the earth and created all the other gods and the sun. He rode on the sun boat every day, and entered the Duat, a mythical realm that has the Afterlife, every night. The most powerful gods ruled the others, so one day, Isis (12), the goddess of magic, was tired of Ra and wanted her husband, Osiris (11), to rule. So she tricked Ra and banished him into the Duat, leaving Osiris to rule. They had a son named Horus (1), a protector god and the god of pharaohs. But, the god of chaos, Seth (2), Osiris' borther, was jealous and killed him, splitting his body into pieces and scattering it all over Egypt. Isis was able to find the pieces and, with the help of Anubis (10), the god of funerals and death rituals, created the first mummy, and reincarnated him in the Afterlife, where he ruled as king.

Other gods are Hathor (5), the goddess of women, music, and parties, and her double Sekhmet, the goddess of war and bloodshed. there is Geb the Earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess. There is the crocodile god sobek (6), god of the nile river. There is bes, the protector of family, and Ptat (9), the god of craftmen. There are many more, but it would take a while to name them, so these are the most important. But of course there is toth (3), the god of writing and knowledge.
