Egyptian Gods

The typical Egyptian representation of a local god would include both animal and human characteristics. Often having the body of a human and the head of an animal. The gods that these people created are a mirror of themselves. The gods were peaceful, not bloodthirsty. As Egypt became more united, under the ruling of a Pharaoh, so too the Egyptian gods were ordered and classified. The Pharaoh himself was to be viewed as a god and have a divine character. [BM] {EM}
