He believed that deities would play the roll of the sun, the moon ,the planets and the stars. Some of these gods were elevated to be national gods and some remained local ones as their cults were restricted to their local provinces. The power of one god was gained from the power of priests. the priests power grow up towards the late new kingdom to enforcing taxes the king even that reached 10% of his revenue. However they were more than a thousand deities some were the most popular such as;
; was regarded the goddess of Motherhood and
Magic. one of her magic mad

for a life time. She was Cupid of the
ancient Egyptians. According to the Egyptian mythology she fell in love with her
brother Osiris and got married to him. One should not regarded sinful but rather
logical. Has any one thought since Kane and Abel belonged to the first family in
man kind history ,whom they got married to?? No doubt to their sisters.
Likewise Isis had to marry her brother Osiris! Thus it was a godly issue. No
doubt this explains why the Pharaoh that was a descendant of deities would
practice the same issue and keep the sacred royal blood in the family.

the mythology Osiris that was a good and kind king to his people. Popularity of
Osiris conceived a big jealousy in the heart of his brother Seth. The envy was
translated into a conspiracy that induced to the death of Osiris drowning in the
Nile. Preserving his body till the return of his sol in resurrection, the answer
was mummification. Since Osiris died and soon resurrected ,Every dead king was identified with
him and his mummy would take the Osirid attitude. Since he found no loyalty in this
present world, Osiris
preferred to remain in the nether world and became the king of dead. Being the
first to this world gave him the right to put the law and the
judge of the every new comer to this world.

Seth was the nature disasters such as ; floods & volcanoes or downpours that
king would stand as a fortress that people could resort to in dangers. Horus was
the symbol of security. Hence the straggle of Hours and Seth is a symbolic one,
that manifests the ever and forever dispute of goodness and badness. The ancient
Egyptian found the
