List of Egyptian gods

The list of Egyptian gods includes not only the known and less known gods of ancient Egypt, but also gods of individual regions or parts of the country and districts as well as demons , which are mentioned in many forms in Egyptian mythology . "Deified" people are also listed. Not mentioned are the pharaohs , who had a divine rank and were venerated in their mortuary temples as part of the cult of the dead . They are included in the list of pharaohs .

List details

The list is arranged alphabetically according to the most famous names with hieroglyphic writing, transcription , short description and other name variants. The alternative names are not linked here, but should be created as a forwarding page to the main name, so that no separate article is necessary. The names of gods in hieroglyphs are almost exclusively shown without ideograms or determinatives . The respective article on the deity contains further writings.

Note on hieroglyphic display : At the moment, not all hieroglyphs on the Gardiner list can be displayed. Under certain circumstances, only the number (e.g. "L19") appears.

The god names

As with the Egyptian kings, the gods have both Graecized spellings (e.g. Osiris or Isis) and those derived from hieroglyphs (Aker or Bastet). Since the Egyptian writing knows no vowels and the original pronunciation is unknown, the transfer into our writing system for legibility takes place via transcription and transliteration . By inserting an "E" between the consonants , the names can be read in Egyptology . The implementation of consonants in individual modern languages ​​has also led to other alternative names.

Example: the Egyptian god wpj-w3wt can be read or spoken as Wepwawet . Since a W is often read as a U , another reading emerges from it: Upuaut .

The sun god Re-Harachte
