The Gods and Goddesses
Of Ancient Egypt
This is just what I was able to find after
research. If anyone has anything to
add, please let me know. Some of the books I read were confusing
at best and
others were vague in what the duty of each deity was. I have done
my best to
organize them in an understandable form.
