The ruler of Ancient Egypt was always Pharaoh, who was considered the son of God. However, among the ancient Egyptian people, the deities themselves were especially revered, the number of which numbered more than a hundred representatives. The gods were worshiped, majestic structures were erected in their honor and legends were made.
The most famous god of Ancient Egypt is Amon (Ra). Amon was the god of the Sun and was also the god of all known Egyptian gods. Often the image of Amun can be found in the form of a man, but instead of a human head, the head of a ram is presented. This is no coincidence, because in ancient Egypt the ram is a symbol of wisdom.
Goddess Naunet is a water goddess who has the form of a snake. She is one of the group of gods who created the world. This should also include the god Nun (has the appearance of a frog), the god Huta (as Nun is depicted as a frog) and the already well-known god Amun.
The god Horus is the god of the sky and the sun. Often this deity can be found with the head of a falcon, however, there are other images of Horus.
The god Osiris is known as the father of Horus. After the god Osiris was killed by his brother Set, Horus resurrected his father and he became the god of the underworld. This god can be recognized by the color of his skin, which was green.
The goddess Isis is known as the mother of Horus, as well as the wife and sister of the god Osiris. The goddess Isis among the Egyptians is the patroness of fertility, a symbol of faithful marriage and the intercessor of women in labor.
God Set is the brother of Osiris, whom he killed, therefore Set is the personification of all evil. The animals depicted as Osiris are a pig and a donkey.
The god Anubis is known as the patron saint of deceased people. This god can be found with the head of a dog, more often a jackal. But soon he was replaced by the coming Osiris.
There were other deities in ancient Egyptian mythology that were worshiped by the ancient people of Egypt.
