Egyptian pantheon

The Egyptian pantheon consists of gods and goddesses representing natural elements, concepts, and social roles. Key deities include Ra, the sun god; Osiris, ruler of the afterlife; Isis, goddess of magic and motherhood; Horus, the sky god often depicted as a falcon; and Anubis, god of mummification. These gods were central to beliefs about creation, death, and the universe, often depicted with animal features symbolizing their qualities. Egyptian religion emphasized harmony with these divine forces, influencing key aspects of daily life, death rituals, and kingship, reflecting a complex system where gods governed both cosmic and earthly order.
