Discover the List Of The Most Famous Gods Of Egypt

These gods and goddesses appear in almost every aspect of ancient Egyptian civilization; there are more than 1500 of them known by name. Many Egyptian texts mention the names of the gods without indicating their character or role, while others refer to specific gods by their qualities without even mentioning their names, so it is difficult to compile a complete list of them. 

The Attributes of different gods may unite and all appear as one god so that the follower is sometimes confused whether, for example, the speech is meant to be the god Uzair or Suker, and whether the meaning is Hathor or ISIS. The cult of the sun has been spreading since the Old Kingdom; perhaps the reason for this is the kings of the Fifth Dynasty, who ruled from 2560 BC to 2420 BC. 

They belonged to the priests of this god (Ra), so this idol became the most revered of them and was observed throughout the second millennium BC. How the name of Ra came to be added to the name of almost every god (Khnum-Ra, Sobek-Ra, Mento-Ra) Since the Xi Dynasty, Amun—the local god of Thebes—began to transform into Amon-Ra, and the sun god became known as the king of the gods and received the highest recognition and fame, and since the XVIII Dynasty (1800 BC).
