Assignment: Homework All Blocks (Feb 13/14)
Egyptians worshipped many Gods and Goddesses. Each God or Goddess was unique and had great powers. Here are some pictures of several Egyptians Gods:
Ra: The Sun God- Ra was worshipped in many forms, such as an old king, falcon, scarab beetle and ram. He was considered to be the father of the Kings of Egypt. An interesting thing about Ra is, that he was believed to have come into being as a child at the beginning of creation, rising out of a water lilly!

Maat: The Goddess of law, order and truth- Maat had one of the most important duties of all Gods and Goddesses. She had to make sure that the Sun rose everyday, at the appointed place and time!

Osiris: Judge of death- Osiris began as a fertility God, but in the later eras he became the Judge of death. He was also the Lord of Duat (underworld) and personified dead Kings!

Thoth: The God of scribes and knowledge- Thoth was depicted in three forms: an ibis, a man with a head of an ibis and a baboon. Because of his great knowledge, he assisted the Pharaoh in deciding where any Pyramid should be built!
