Egyptian gods

Ancient African divinities

The Egyptian gods are the deities of ancient Egypt's polytheistic religion—Ra the sun god, Osiris ruler of the underworld, Isis goddess of magic, Horus the falcon-headed sky god, Anubis guide of the dead, and dozens more.

They appear in mythology, art, and popular culture: The museum's Egyptian gods exhibit drew huge crowds.

References to Egyptian gods often evoke mystery, ancient power, or elaborate death rituals.
