How many gods did ancient Egypt have?

Answer 1

The Ancient Egyptians had around 8700 gods in total.

It may be hard to believe but they really did!

over a thousand gods it's hard to name them all

There are approximately 64 Egyptian Gods. These include Osiris, Amun, Re(Ra) AND Nephthys. They all play a vital role in Ancient Egyptian life.Actually by the time the xtains/coptics had come along in the mid 400's there was record of over 2000 deities worshipped in ancient Egypt.

Almost every village in Egypt had it's own gods. Every time a new Pharaoh came into power the whole culture recognised his gods as the best so they were always changing.

Actually there are 115 or 114 on all the other sites that's what it said it was. there was no more.

Their are well over 800 Egyptian gods because the ancient Egyptians had a god for almost everything

There were hundreds of gods and goddesses.

There were gods for everything like cats, home, pregenent woman, etc.

Some gods included Anubis, Thoth, Isis, Bes, Hathor, Osiris, Ra, etc.

Up to 2000 gods and spirits were counted in Egyptian mythology

Over two thousand, I believe. However, unlike Ra (sun god), not all were known through the whole country-- many were only local.

As well as being localised many gods were known by different names as well.

It would be hard to say exactly how many they had, but there would have been well over a hundred gods. Actually there would have been thousands of gods that they believed in and it is pretty hard to name all of them.

According to a good book I have on the subject, there are approximately 2000 gods, goddesses or deities of ancient Egypt known to us by name today. However, most of these were just very minor deities worshipped only in particular places for short amounts of time. Bear in mind, many of them were similar, eg. many with the same animal head or basic depiction. Eg, not all falcons are Horus.
due to new finds, translation issues and the fact that the egyptian culture evolved many times over its reign as well as incorporated many nearby cultures the exact number is unknown. the last offical count had it at 8700

Answer 2

there are about 200 or so gods in Egypt.

The Ancient Egyptians had hundreds, if not thousands of different gods. Some that spring to mind however:

-Osiris

-Anubis

-Mut

-Isis

-Horus

-Set

-Thoth

-Amun

Also note that after a certain point, the Egyptians considered all of their Pharaohs gods, thus adding to the list.

There was a great amount of gods in Egypt. There was a god for practically every action that happened. So, take what they did in that day, count it and that is the least amount of gods they had.

ancient Egyptians worshipped thousands of gods and godesses. it is even said that many of them didnt even know the names of the gods. one of them is the sun god, Ra.

I hope my answer can help!!

There is 1,564 gods in Egypt.

While some 1,500 gods and goddesses are known by name from ancient Egypt, many of them were not worshiped at any one time or in any one place.
The number of gods and goddesses in ancient Egypt is currently uncounted.

Answer 3

There is no accurate answer.

The most popular view is that there are over 100 Gods in Egyptian worship. But some of these Gods can/may be alternative forms or manifestations of other already established Gods.

Gods from earlier periods can also frequently become forgotten or updated with each dynasty, ruler or circumstance.

Also, Gods can (and were) sometimes acquired from neighbouring countries/cultures.

Answer 4

There were as many as 2000 gods and goddesses ancient Egypt.

Answer 5

The gods and goddesses of Egypt are many and have not been counted as of yet.

Answer 6

There is not yet a official number of Egyptian gods and goddesses, but one can assume very many.
