In Ancient Egyptian religion there are over 2,000 gods, however, some were much more important and more well known to us today than others, for example, there was a god known as Amun and he was believed to be the most powerful of the gods. He then combined himself with Ra - the god of the sun, they then became even more powerful than before. Also Osirus - the god of the living. And Anubis - the god of funerals and death are important because they have to do with life and death, Anubis was one of the most important because the Egyptians had whole theories about the after life and they had books on what to do in the after life and, it was to be believed that they looked forward the after life more than their actual life. Anuket - the god of the Nile was another very important god because every year the Nile flooded which provided water to the farmers crops. If the god of the Nile was angry he wouldn’t flood the lands, and the people wouldn’t be able to grow their crops.
