Ancient Egypt Mythology

Ancient Egyptian mythology is a collection of stories about gods, goddesses, and the universe’s origins. Key deities include Ra, the sun god; Osiris, the god of the afterlife; and Isis, the goddess of magic and motherhood. These myths explain natural phenomena, life's cycle, and moral values, emphasizing order (Ma'at) over chaos. Egyptians believed gods shaped the world and human destiny, and rituals and temple worship sought to honor them. These stories also guided practices for death and rebirth, influencing culture, art, and spiritual beliefs for thousands of years.
