Egyptian god's and goddesses




The gods and goddesses were a major part in Egyptian culture. Their names today are a mix of both their original Egyptian ones like, and the Greek forms.  There were hundreds of gods and goddesses in Ancient Egypt. In most cultures the gods kind of looked like people.  While most Egyptian gods had animal heads. They had temples where they honored and praised their gods. Each temple was home to one or more temple gods. Some were gods of, creation, floods, protection, and some were to take care of people after they passed. Some different ones were just local gods. The may have represented towns. Others sometimes represented plants or animals. The Egyptians thought it was important to praise them and give those things so the gods will remain happy and let the people live peaceful lives.
