Ra (sometimes spelled Re or Rah, also known as Atum Atom) was the sun god of Heliopolis in ancient Egypt. From the Fifth Dynasty onwards, he was united with the Theban god Amun and became the most important god in the Egyptian pantheon. For more than ten centuries, Ra was the supreme god of Egypt, until the religious reforms of Akhenaten (i.e. Amenhotep IV), when the worship of gods other than Aton (i.e. the sun god of the dynasty, whose image was a sun wheel) was forbidden. Later, his worship was combined with that of Heryshaf.
Ra is a self-created god who is born from the waters of the beginning (Mehturt, the mound created by the eight Ogdoads) or from a lotus flower. He created Shu and Tefnut from his semen or secretion, Hu and Sia from the blood of his penis, and mankind from his tears.
The sun is Ra's entire body, or just his eyes. In Heliopolis, the center of Ra worship, he was also worshipped as Aton, the sunrise god, and Atum, the twilight god. Ra was called Aton in the morning and Atum in the evening. He later merged with Horus.
While Ra and Atum ("the Completer or Perfector") were the same god, Atum was used only on special occasions. He is primarily a symbol of the setting sun, and a substitute for Ra in his role as the creator of Hugh and Tefnut. In some myths, Atum refers only to the Atum created by the god Bhuta. Atum was the father of Hike.
Atum is the first of the Nine Pillars of the Ennead and is often represented as the black bull Mnewer. He takes the form of a snake, lizard, beetle, lion, bull and wasp.
The god Ra traveled through the underworld in a boat every night, escorted by Seth and Mehen (in case of attacks by monsters such as Apep). During this journey, he appears as Auf Ra or Efu Ra.
On one occasion, Hathor had an argument with Ra, and she left Egypt in anger. Ra soon began to miss Hathor, but Hathor transformed herself into a cat and attacked all the gods and people who came near her. Eventually, Hathor was persuaded by the god Tut to return to Egypt.
Emon-Ra was recognized by the Greeks and Romans along with Zeus and Jupiter. The Greeks even gave Thebes the name "Diospolis" - "City of Zeus". Aemon-Ra sometimes has the image of a phoenix.
The symbol of Ra is a golden disk, or a circle with a dot in the center.
------------
Shu was the god of the winds and one of the Nine Pillars in Egyptian mythology. He was created by Atum (Ra) from his own semen or secretion (mucus). He married his sister Tefnut to have Nut and Geb. He stood over his son, Geb, the god of the earth, and held his daughter Nut, the god of the sky, in his hands to separate them.
In art, Hugh is usually depicted as a male with ostrich feathers stuck in his head.
------------
Tefnut was the god of rain, fertility and one of the Nine Pillars of Egyptian mythology. She was created by Ra from his own semen or mucus. She married her brother Hugh and gave birth to Geb and Nut.
On one occasion, Tefnut had an argument with Hugh, and she left Egypt in anger. Hugh soon began to miss Tefnut, but she turned into a cat and attacked all men and gods who came near her. Finally, the god Tut, in disguise, convinced her to return to Egypt. (This is similar to the story of Ra and Hathor)
------------
Geb also known as Seb Seb or Keb Keb was the ancient Egyptian god of earth and fertility, the son of Hugh and Tefnut, and one of the Nine Pillars of God. This belief in ancient Egypt differed from the rest of the world. In other mythologies, the god of the earth is often represented as a goddess. Geb is depicted as a goose-headed figure with a green or black body. Geb held the souls of evil people so that they could not enter heaven.
Gabu married Nut and had Osiris, Aesiris, Set and Nephthys.
------------
Nut (also Nuit) is the god of the sky in Egyptian mythology. Nut is a goddess, as opposed to the often male figure of the sky god in other mythologies. Nuit was the daughter of Hugh and Tefnut, and one of the Nine Pillars.
The sun god Ra entered her mouth each night after sunset and was reborn the next morning through her nether gates. She also swallowed and regenerated the stars.
Nut was also the goddess of death, whose image is depicted on the inside of most sarcophagi. Pharaohs would enter her body after death and be reborn shortly thereafter.
In art, Nut is depicted as a nude woman supported by Hugh and covered with stars; opposite her (the sky) is her husband, Geb (the earth).
Nut and Geb were married and had Osiris, Aesiris, Set and Nephthys.
------------
Osiris (also Usiris) was the king of the underworld, one of the Nine Pillars of Egyptian mythology, and one of the most important gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. He was a god of repeated rebirth. He was eventually buried in the city of Abydos, where he was the patron god.
Osiris was the son of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the god of the sky. In Egypt, Osiris was the god of the underworld, as well as the god of fertility and agriculture. He and his wife Aeschines had Horus. According to the Book of the Dead, his first son was called Beb. Later, he was united with Sike and Buta to become [[Buta-Sike-Osiris]], also equated with Heryshaf.
------------
Isis (Greek; in Egyptian Aset) was the ancient Egyptian god of motherhood and fertility, one of the Nine Pillars. She was a god of repeated rebirth.
Originally, Aeschines was a goddess of royal power (in hieroglyphics, her name includes the word "throne"). Later, during the reign of the Greeks, she became the patron saint of sailors.
Aesis was the daughter of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the god of the sky, who married her brother Osiris and had Horus. Osiris was murdered and dismembered by his brother Set, and later Aeschines pieced together the body of Osiris and brought him back to life (this associates the image of Aeschines with the underworld and funerary cults), with whom she gave birth to Horus in the wetlands of Kemnis. In addition to Horus, she was also the mother of Min (some say they were lovers).
Acis and her sister Nefertis are the guardians of the dead, often appearing in human form at the ends of coffins and spreading their wings to protect the dead. Both sisters possess magical powers.
------------
Seth (also known as Set, Setekh, etc.), in Egyptian mythology, was originally the god of strength, the god of war, the god of storms, the god of the desert, and the god of the Outer Lands. He protected caravans in the desert, but at the same time initiated sandstorms to attack them. He was the son of Geb and Nut, husband of Nefertis, and one of the Nine Pillar Gods. His image is closely aligned with the god Yash (god of the Sahara Desert).
According to the Greek historian Herodotus, Set was first worshipped as a deity by the Barbary people (Berbers). And some scholars believe that Set was Poseidon, the Barbary god of the sea.
One of the more common nicknames for Set is "great of strength. In one pyramid text it is stated that the king's strength is Set's strength.
When the sun god Ra traveled the underworld at night, Set was at his side. Most notably, he fought and killed Apep, the evil serpent of darkness that attacked the god Ra every night.
Later, when Set's brother Osiris became a much more important god, Set was gradually seen as his polar opposite. Because of the creation of a myth about Set killing Osiris in a struggle, Set began to become a god of evil.
Set is often compared to Horus. Since Horus was a god of the sky, Set was also seen as the god of the land. The metal ore from the ground was called the "bones of Set". In the third millennium B.C., Set replaced Horus as the patron god of the pharaohs; but when the legend of Set's murder of his brother spread, Horus was replaced again.
Seth is usually depicted as a jackal-headed deity with oblong ears and a long, curved, projecting mouth. Some believe this actually depicts an earth pig, or another beast as yet unidentified. In addition to the animals mentioned above, Set is sometimes depicted with the head of an antelope, donkey, crocodile or hippopotamus.
------------
Nephthys was the patroness of the dead in Egyptian mythology, as well as the god of fertility. She was one of the Nine Pillars. Nephthys" was also the name given to the oldest woman in a family. She may have been a corruption of Bat or Neith.
In Egyptian art, her hair looks similar to a shroud. She is depicted with a basket or a small house on her head, sometimes as a woman bearing wings, and at other times as a kite, falcon, kestrel or other bird. She was the daughter of Geb and Nut, the wife of Set. With Set she bore Anubis. She often appears in art with her own sister, Aisis.
Major gods:
------------
Amon is the Hellenized name of an Egyptian major god, transcribed in Egyptian as ?mn, meaning "the hidden one" (also spelled "Amon"). He was one of the eight Ogdoads, mated to Mut.
In the beginning, he was only a local deity of Thebes. At that time, Thebes was just an insignificant town on the east bank of the Nile, in the area around the present-day temple of Karnak. The Eleventh Dynasty originated with a family in the state of Hermonthite (or possibly right here in Thebes itself) who decorated the temple with statues. The name of Amun was compounded into the name of the founder of the Twelfth Dynasty, Amnemhet. This name was in turn carried on by his three heirs. Several kings of the Middle Kingdom period adopted the same name; the Seventeenth Dynasty at Thebes drove out the Hyksos, and Amon was brought back into prominence as the deity of the royal city.
It was not, however, until the rulers of the Eighteenth Dynasty marched their victorious armies to the frontier in every direction that Amun began to become the universally recognized god of Egypt, crowding out the other gods and goddesses of Egypt and even coming out of Egypt as the god of the universe. The pharaohs attributed all their victories to Amon and spent wealth and labor on Amon's temples.
Amon is depicted in human form, wearing a headband from which two parallel feathers protrude. This may symbolize the tail feathers of an eagle. There are two common depictions of Eamon: one seated in a throne, the other standing, holding a whip, much like Min, the deity of Coptos and Chemmis (Akhmim). The latter may be his original image, the god of fertility. Before him the king ceremoniously plows the land to be sown or reaps the ripe grain. His spouse was sometimes called Amaunet (feminine of Amun), but usually Mut; she had a human head and wore the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Their son was Chons.
The name of Ra, the sun god, is sometimes combined with that of Amun, especially in his role as "king of the gods". In Egypt, the rule of the heavens belonged to the sun god, and since Amon was the supreme god, it logically follows that Amon was Ra. Amun was called "King of the Throne and the Two Lands" or, more proudly, "King of the Gods".
------------
Horus (also Heru-sa-Aset, Hrw, Hr, and Hor-Hekenu) was the guardian god of the pharaohs and a symbol of kingship in ancient Egyptian mythology. He is depicted as an eagle-headed deity.
Like many other gods and goddesses, the nature of Horus, as well as the stories and legends about him, has been in constant flux with history. One can think of Horus as an amalgamation of many other gods and goddesses associated with royalty, the sky, and so on. And most of these gods and goddesses were sun gods. This is very similar to what Christianity says about the Trinity of God.
Heru-ur (also known as Harmerti Hammadi) was one of the earliest versions of Horus, a god of creation in the form of a falcon. His eyes were the sun and the moon. When the new moon appeared, he became a blind man called Mekhenty-er-irty (meaning "he who has no eyes"); and when his sight was restored, he was called Khenty-irty (meaning "he who has eyes "). Horus is very dangerous when blind; he sometimes mistakes his friends for enemies and attacks. He is the son of Geb and Nut, and is the patron saint of Letopolis.
As a child, Horus was known as Har-pa-khered (meaning "young Horus", or Harpocrates in Greek), the son of Osiris and Aeschines or Banebdjetet and Hatmehit. He is depicted as a naked boy with his fingers in his mouth, sitting with his mother on a lotus flower. In this form Horus was a god of fertility who often carried a pot of treasure (cornucopia). The image of Har-pa-Khered was popular during the Roman Empire, when he was depicted riding a goose or a ram (note that his father, Banebdjetet, was a ram god).
Later Horus was definitely positioned as the corpse of Osiris and the son of Aeschys (or was it the acacia tree feathered from Saosis). This is often cited as "the Horus" in many scholarly works.
As Har-nedj-itef (called Harendotes in Greek), Horus was the guardian of Osiris in the netherworld "Duat".
As Behedti, Horus was Behdet (now Edfu), where his image was closely associated with the falcon.
And as Chenti-irti, Horus was an eagle god of law and order.
Later, Horus began to be associated with images of the sun god Ra, especially in Heliopolis, and began to be called Ra-Herekhty (also Ra-Heru-akhety, Her-akhety (meaning "Horus of the Double Horizon"), Har-akhety (meaning "Horus of the Double Horizon"), and Har-akhety (meaning "Horus of the Double Horizon"). "), Har-em-akhet (meaning "Horus of the Horizon"), Horakhety, Harmachis (in Greek)), the sun god of the dynasty.
Anhur was the name of Horus when he was united with Hugh.
In the third millennium BC, Set replaced Horus as the patron god of the pharaohs. However when the legend of Set's murder of his own brother spread, Horus was replaced again. A battle took place between Horus and Seth that lasted eighty years. Horus tore out Set's testicles and a leg, while Set gouged out Horus' left eye (from then on Horus was known as the One-Eyed Man). Horus later got his eye back. With the support of Neith, Horus won the battle and became the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt (there are also legends that say that Horus and Set divided Upper and Lower Egypt).
Horus had four sons, who, in Egyptian beliefs about funerals, were custodians of the entrails of the dead contained in four jars (canopic jars): the Duamutef Domtef (stomach), the Qebshenuf Kebshenuf (intestines), the Hapi Hapi (lungs), and the Imset Emset (liver).
--------------
Anubis is the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, sometimes seen as the god of the underworld. He was the son of Set and Nephthys. His name in hieroglyphics is pronounced closer to "Amp".
Anubis had the head of a jackal (or other canine), which was his symbol. This image of the jackal is closely related to his role in mythology. Because the jackal was a scavenger, a remover of corpses, he was closely associated with death. He is also seen as the guardian of the dead. In art, Anubis is depicted as a male with a bearded wolf's head, pricked ears and a whip in his hand.
Anubis was initially the king of the underworld, however, with the creation of the cult of Osiris, he became the caretaker. As the gatekeeper, Anubis' main duty was: to compare the souls of the dead with the feathers of Maat on a scale. If the soul is as light as the feather, Anubis takes him to Osiris, otherwise he feeds him to Ammit (Ammit).
The worship of Anubis perhaps even predates Osiris. In the Unas text (line 70) he is associated with the Eye of Horus. In the Book of the Dead, he oils the body of Osiris, wraps him in linen woven by Aeschys and Nephthys, and presses his hand on Osiris's body to protect him.
--------------
Thoth, also transliterated as Turbot or Tut, was the god of wisdom in ancient Egyptian mythology and was responsible for guarding the clerical rue and scribe. He is rumored to be the inventor of ancient Egyptian writing.
The Beginning of Heaven and Earth
At the beginning of Egyptian history, the Egyptians worshipped their country's animals: crocodiles, bulls, cats, baboons, snakes, beetles, and so on. Later they created their gods in human form, but they still retained animal heads with human bodies attached to them, such as Amun-Ra (the sun god), the main god of Egypt, sometimes symbolized by the head of an oyster; the goddess of fertility, Hathor, had the head of a bull; the fierce goddess of war, Shechemet, had the head of a lion; and Thoth, the god of science, had the head of a white crane.
According to the ancient Egyptians, at the beginning of the heavens and the earth, Buda, the god of creation, created a primordial egg on his clay cart, from which the universe hatched. Nut, the god of the firmament, and Keb, the god of the earth, united to procreate Osiris and Isis, and then Osiris and Isis were also married. Nut and Keb also gave birth to Set and Nephthys, who were likewise married.
Because of the Egyptians' belief in gods and goddesses, their belief in immortality, and their emphasis on funerals history Egypt has left behind many temples and tomb-building art. Since ancient times, the Egyptians believed that many things have divinity, not only to give the name of the gods, but also believe in them. For example, the belief in animal images of the gods (sacred animals) is a characteristic. Some of the gods are just the original animal image, some gods are placed on the human body an animal head, some are placed on the head of the symbol of God's idol, and some are all the human form, while holding the symbol of God in the hand.
From the First to the Fourth Dynasties, there was great faith in the god Hors, and it was believed that Pharaoh was descended from the god Hors, and was the representative of Hors on earth. The god Hors was a god of light and appeared in the form of an eagle, and the holy animal of Hors was also an eagle. Pharaohs usually had an eagle drawn right above their name.
After the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, the god worshipped in Egypt gradually shifted to the sun god "Ra". By the time of the New Empire, beliefs shifted to the god Ammon, who became the national god of Egypt.
Each god in Egypt had his own range of power, and each different place would have the same requirements for different gods, while different places would have the same requirements for different gods, and different gods might have the same function, as for the character of each god, it is more difficult to grasp.
Roughly speaking, the Egyptian gods can be divided into three types: (a) animal type (b) human type (c) abstract type
There are also three systems depending on the region:
(a) Bouda, the god of craftsmen in Memphis, and the god of the creation of the world. He existed before the world even existed, and the way he created the world was through his thoughts and words, what he thought in his heart and said with his mouth, and everything in the world, including the other gods, was created by him.
(2) Developed in the ancient kingdoms, the system centered on the city of Heliopolis held that before the creation of the world there was a great god, Atum, who fertilized himself and gave birth to the air (Hugh) and the water-air (Tephna); and that the union of the air and the water-air gave birth to the sky (Nut) and the earth (Kheb, geb); The union of heaven and earth in turn gave birth to the four children of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nefertis, who are the creators of all that is in the world.
(c) From the city of Hermopolis in the south of Upper Egypt, the process of creation is also quite abstract, in the world of chaos and uncertainty, there are four pairs of gods, belonging to the four natures of "darkness, depth, invisibility, and infinity", these eight gods created the world, and they represent the age of the unknowable, or the time of the unknowable, or the time of the infinite. These eight gods created the world, and each of them represents an unknowable age, or an unknowable local identity.
Primordial Water
The belief in primordial water is a ****common view among the three systems, but with different interpretations.
There are eight meanings of Hermophoris, and eight gods, and these eight gods are represented by men and women who hold the four characteristics of the primordial water: the male god, Nau, and the goddess, Nau Naiad, which signifies "the abyss"; the male god, Fufu, and the goddess, Ha'u Haid, which signifies "the infinite"; the male god, Kuk, and the goddess, Khuk, which signifies "the infinite"; and the male god, Kuk, and the goddess, Khuk, which signifies the infinite. "The male god Kuk and the goddess Kakwiad signify "darkness"; the male god Amu and the goddess Amau signify "the unseen".
Among these eight gods, the male is represented as the head of a frog, and the goddess as the head of a serpent, and it is said that these gods swam in the primeval waters, and here laid the primeval eggs, but there is another theory that these eggs were born of a giant duck or goose, and that in the transmission of the throne it is said that out of the primeval waters came the Lotus, and that out of this Lotus flew the lovely child, who created the world; and this child means the morning; and this child means the morning; and this child means the morning. create the world; and this child means the sun in the morning, and then merges with the lotus at night.
In the myth of Hermopolis, the Lord of the Universe has said, With my sweat I have made gods of every kind, and with my tears I have made mankind. In ancient Egyptian paintings, humans are referred to as Lumet, which can be interpreted as tears.
In the legend of Heliopolis, it is believed that Atum created the powers of the various gods of the world, and this for there is also a saying that Atum was the son of Nun, the original water, denoting the high hillock or ground that arose after the deluge, and that Atum stood on the rock, and vomited out of his mouth Hugh, the male god, and Tefna, the goddess, who, united to the goddess, gave birth to Cable, the male god, and Nun, the goddess; and that, when they were both about to be unite, but were pulled apart by their father-god Hugh, and laid Keb upon the earth and sent Nut up into the sky; but afterwards married and begat Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nefertis, the gods of the four pillars.
Osiris
Osiris was the firstborn son of Keb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the heavens. When he became king, he taught the Egyptians to cultivate the land and taught them the benefits of civilization. He taught the Egyptians to cultivate the land and taught them the benefits of civilization. The land of Egypt was blessed with good weather and peace, and the people were led from a time of bloodshed to a time of civilization. Osiris' brother, Set, the god of darkness and deserts, was so jealous of him that he put him in a box and exiled him to the Nile River. The box made it to the harbor of Byblos in Phoenicia, and then Osiris' wife Isis brought it back to Egypt, and it was during the time of caring for the box that she gave birth to her son, Hors (the god of falcons).
Set found the box containing Osiris, broke it into pieces, mutilated Osiris' body, and scattered the pieces all over the Nile. Isis was so grieved that she ran all over the country along the Nile, and finally collected all the pieces of flesh scattered everywhere, and asked Anubis, the god of funerals, to wrap the pieces in bands and mummify them into the first mummy. Isis used her wings to slop the body, and in conjunction with her sister Nefertis, she used spells to bring Osiris back to life again, who then became King of the Underworld. Hors and his uncle Set vied for the throne of the earth, and in the end, by the arbitration of the gods, Hors succeeded to his father's authority over the land of Egypt, while Osiris became the god of the Nile and ruled over the underworld.
As the legend goes, the king of the earth was believed to be Hors, who ruled over the earth, and Osiris, who ruled over the underworld.
During the Middle Kingdom, the belief in Osiris became more widespread and powerful. Pilgrimages to St. Abydus, where Auxilius is buried, were numerous, and monuments or statues of the god were built to pray for the happiness of the family in the underworld.
The story of Osiris is usually depicted in the tombs, and images of Osiris guiding a dead king, queen or nobleman, or of the dead holding something to give to Osiris are abundant. Inside the figure, Osiris is shown with a white crown, which is decorated with two feathers on either side, and holding a whisk and wattles, famously called khakas. These things are symbols of dominion and show the dignity of the kings of the underworld.
Isis is usually styled with a double horn and sun disk on her head, topped with the hieroglyph of Isis, and holding in her hand the ankh, the symbol of life. It is also sometimes often shown in the posture of holding her child Hors.
Judgment of the Dead
Anubis, who mummified Osiris, although previously only a protector of a place, became the god of the dead, specializing in burials, and the patron saint of mummification. He is usually styled in the shape of a mountain dog.
The dead were led to Osiris by Anubis (a god with a dog's head), and the dead had to try to prove that they were innocent in life. The heart was believed to be the dwelling place of the human consciousness, so the heart was placed in the pan of a scale, and on the other side of the scale was placed a feather, a symbol of justice. If the heart weighed more than the feather, there was no trial and the deceased was handed over to the devil with the head of a crocodile. If the feather weighs more than the heart, the deceased is a good person who has done nothing wrong, and then the deceased is taken by Holes to live in a paradise in the underworld for eternity. However, to live in the Pleasure Land, one must take regular turns planting fields for Osiris, and this evolved into placing dolls in the tombs of the dead, who would serve in the place of the dead in labor.

One of the oldest Egyptian goddesses, it is referred to in Greek as the goddess of the sky. It was often regarded as identical with Isis, and was mainly worshipped at Edfu, thought to be the wife of Horus. At Thebes it was considered the god of death, but is generally recognized as the god of love, dance, wine and foreign affairs.
