Ancient culture in Egypt contains a lot of the whole story , round about of which however hang about a secret, and this exalted come to rest all along the banks of the Nile has featured in equally forward-looking and prehistoric history. Around 3100 BC, after the following confederation of better and subordinate Egypt, the pharaoh was the supreme person in charge once it came to rituals and religion. Egyptian deities were measured to correspond to aspects of nature; the intimates admired them and did not intend to anger them. So what forms did these deities take? Let’s take a look at the top 10 most p

worshiped gods of ancient Egypt:

1. AMUN-RA: The Hidden One



Some assume that Amun (Amen, Amon) was a relatively modern god within the context of ancient Egyptian religion. His worship at Thebes, where the earliest known Temple dedicated to him was located, is only documented from the 11th Dynasty onward.

It is true that he gained most of his prestige after replacing the war god Montu as the principle god of

Thebes during Egypt's New Kingdom, when he was recognized as the "King of Gods". At that time, because of Egypt's influence in the world, he actually became a universal god. In fact, by the 25th Dynasty, Amun-Re was even the chief god of the Nubian Kingdom of Napata and by the Ptolemic, or Greek period, he was regarded as the Egyptian equivalent of Zeus. However, he is actually mentioned in the pyramid text from the Old Kingdom ( 5th Dynasty, Unas - line 558), which show him to be a primeval deity and a symbol of creative force. This text seems to assign great antiquity to his existence.

2. MUT: The Mother Goddess
