ancient Egyptian gods a-z
The Ancient
Egyptians and pharaohs believed in many gods. In fact, most
pharaohs stopped at nothing to ensure their subjects and
citizens believed they were divinely appointed, through the gods,
to rule over them. This notion was so ingrained into their
society that there were gods for almost every aspect of their
lives. Many
priests ran temples devoted to worship their gods and many pharaohs
erected monuments that sponsored their deities.
The Egyptian gods came in many forms that were associated with
political power, were great religious icons, or
were creatures that were contrived by regular Egyptians to aid
them in their ailments. These gods were there answers to the
unknown and they were part of the foundation of their ancient
culture.
