Counting the Gods............
Let's see, Ra is the god of the sun...........I think. Hathor was queen and wife to Neb was it? Then there's Osiris, god of the dead, Nut (dunno who she ishttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif) Seth, Horus the falcon headed god (with extraordinary "eye" powers), Beshabat and that dog looking one - hmmm........can't remember. chuck in a Thoth too. And finally........most probably Ziroc's NEW Lord Ao. .............Amun. (Master God Of Gods) ------------------ http://www.gis.net/~yos/lichwah.gif Greetings Mortals.

Don't forget Bast, Queen of the Cats, Anubis, Lord of the Underworld, Ba, God of the Dwarves and of Luck, and Ptah, the God of Carpenters and Architects.
I know there's others out there too! http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |
Nut is Night... then there is Isis, goddess of fertility and spouse to Osiris, Thoth BTW is the scribe of the gods, Anubis, with the jackal head, Bastet the cat goddess, oh and Amun is called Amon-Ra, he's depicted as a bull.... anyone know any more?

There are the other two, earlier, creator gods: Khepri and Apis, who both became one with Ra
There are also the fours sons of Horus: Duamutef, Hapi, Imsety, and Qebhsenuef, who together were the protectors of the parts of the body of Osiris Melusine: I think the dungbeetle headed God is Khepri. The word Scarab Beetle (i.e. dung beetle) derives from his name, but I don't know of any reference to a depiction of him with a dung beetle head Also, Amon-Ra (Amen-Ra) is not the same as Amon (Amen, Amun). Amon-Ra is a composite deity made to link the seperate worship of the Amon and Ra. Amon, is the patron god of Thebes and is considered to be one of the eight deities of creation, and Ra....well we know who Ra is The interesting thing is that Amon-Ra was created as a link between Amon and Ra, but in late Egyptian Society, Amon-Ra went on to supercede both of them and became known as the Lord of the Universe ------------------ http://www.bestanimations.com/fantas.../dragon-04.gif Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect from alphabet soup? |
Some less well known ones:
Renenutet (Cobra headed goddess, protector of the king, fertility) Keket (Frog goddess, very ancient one, possibly represents rebirth) Apophis (Snake god of the underworld, chaos & evil) I'll see if I can think of any more ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/epona2.gif Time is an illusion.

There is also Tefnut the daughter of Ra and mother of Geb and Nut
And Sobek, the crocodile God and Qetesh, the goddess of love and beauty (thought to be a Syrian diety but often associated with Eqypt also) http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif love this stuff Epona: Another name for Keket is Heqet (who was one the eigth gods of Hermopolis) ------------------ http://www.bestanimations.com/fantas.../dragon-04.gif Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect from alphabet soup? |
