Did you know?

The gods depicted in ancient Egyptian mythology lived, died, hunted, went into battle, gave birth, ate, drank, and had the same emotions as humans do today. he ancient Egyptian god’s reigns overlapped, and, in some instances, merged.

There was never an organized hierarchy of their reign. The dominance of Egyptian gods depended on the beliefs of the reigning king. Their ancient Egyptian myths changed with the location of the gods, as did their names.

The Ancient Egyptian gods names were very mystic and powerful. It was thought that if you inscribed your enemies' name on something, then broke it, that enemy would either be afflicted, or possibly die.
