Egyptian Gods and Goddesses

Lately I've been interested in Ethnic culture. So i decided to write something related to it. This time's about Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. You've seen "The Mummy" or "The Mummy Returns" right? There are some of 'em that's mentioned in that movie. Actually there are 29 Gods and Goddesses, but I'm not gonna write the full info of them all cause it'll be so tiring. Okay so Let's Start!

First there's Amun

He's one of the Most Powerful Egyptian Gods. So i guess that's why they call him "The King of Gods". Amun combined with the Sun God so he became even moreee POWERFUL.

And then there's Anubis


I bet you've heard of him before. Cause i think Anubis is the most popular Egyptian God. Okay so he looks like man with a wolf's head. Anubis is the God of the Dead. He's the one who watch over the "mummifying" process when people die. Yikes!


Next there's Atum


His name means perfection. The Egyptians believe that Atum was the first God to exist on earth. They also believed that Atum was the God that created all of the other Gods.

Fourthly, Bes

Bes looks like a dwarf with lion skin. I think he looks ugly but actually he's quite useful. He's the protector of pregnant woman and newborn babies.

And then there's Geb

Geb is the God of Earth. He's the husband of the sky goddess, Nut. He's also the father of Osiris, Isis, Nepthys, and Seth. I'll explain about 'em later. Geb's quite evil, they say earthquakes are his laughter.

Next there's Hathor

Hathor is one of my favorite! She is the Goddess of LOVE and JOY. And she's Horus's wife.

And then there's Horus

Horus's the God of the Sky. And as i've said before. Horus is Hathor's husband. He's also the son of Osiris and Isis. After Seth killed Osiris, Horus fought with Seth for the Throne. Horus won (Yeay!) And he became the mighty ruler of Egypt.

Next there's Isis

She's Osisris's wife and Horus's mom. She's a protective Goddess and she uses powerful magic spells to help people.

Ninethly, Nephthys

Nepthys is the protective goddess of the Dead. She's Seth's wife and Anubis was his son.

Next there's Nut


Nut was the sky Goddess. She's Geb's wife/sister. (Get what i mean? They were like animals. F***ing their own brother/sister)

Okay, moving on. There's Osiris
Osiris is the ruler of the underworld. He's the brother/husband of Isis, and brother of Nepthys and Seth. He's also Horus's dad.

Next there's Ra

I know his name's a bit weird but apparently he's very important. "Ra" means sun. Ra's head looks like a hawk. He was the Sun God.


And then there's Seth


Seth is the God of Chaos. Every threat in egypt points to him. He's the brother of Osiris and Isis, and he's also brother/husband of Nepthys. He's pure evil i tell you. He killed Osiris just because he wanted to be the ruler of living. But that doesn't stop there, Osiris's son, Horus battled against Seth to decide who'll be the mighty ruler of the living. Horus won by the way. Seth sucks haha

Actually there are 2 more goddesses i want to tell more but the only damn source of it got deleted. i don't know how but i'll keep looking. There's a short story too, but then again, it got deleted as well. So here's what i got so far. I hope i don't disappoint you too much
Aloha!
