The Egyptian gods are primeval forces that were once worshiped by the Ancient Egyptians. The gods are also created entities, like humans, but are more powerful. They serve as a bridge between the natural world and the human world. Over time, the Egyptians realized that the gods were not to be worshiped and although they still prayed to them and used their powers, magicians began to train to fight the gods when needed.

- Egyptian mythology, like Christianity, is plagued with conflicting and competing creation stories and ethically dubious moral lessons making both creeds equally difficult to understand. However, Confucius tells us that there are many paths to God and one of them may be to conscript several thousand casual acquaintances to build a 6 million ton mausoleum in your honour before asking one of them to store your internal organs in jars, desiccate your corpse and wrap it with bandages. It would be a mistake, therefore, not to investigate the lessons that Egyptian mythology can teach us.

| - Egyptian mythology, like Christianity, is plagued with conflicting and competing creation stories and ethically dubious moral lessons making both creeds equally difficult to understand. However, Confucius tells us that there are many paths to God and one of them may be to conscript several thousand casual acquaintances to build a 6 million ton mausoleum in your honour before asking one of them to store your internal organs in jars, desiccate your corpse and wrap it with bandages. It would be a mistake, therefore, not to investigate the lessons that Egyptian mythology can teach us. We cannot hope to comprehend every one of the estimated 2000 Egyptian deities any more than we can fully understand the seemingly endless profusion of Gods in the Hindu and Jewish religions. However, after death, a familiarity with the most important of these ancient deities may come in useful should we discover that the Iron Age myth of the Old Testament and the insane ramblings of deranged Judean carpenters turn out not to be the Gospel truth.
