Okay, Please help me!! I'm doing a project for school and I don't need any more information other than a few (about 4 or 5 maybe) of the gods and goddesses that were the most important in ancinet egypt.
Links to information maybe or how to make a sculpture like the ancinet egyptians did??

The Ancient Egyptian religion was an active religion for thousands of years, and different gods and goddesses rose and fell in importance over time, but some of the biggies include:
Ra - sun god
Horus - Ra's son, who brought salvation, also a sun god
Osiris - Killed by his brother Set, he was resurrected each spring, bringing fertility to crops and worshippers
Isis - Osiris' sister
Set - Evil god of the underworld, snakes and other nastiness, killed Osiris
Bast - Cat goddess and protector of the home
Anubis - Guardian of the afterlife
Thoth - Stork-headed god of knowledge
Ptah - Creator of the universe

most importand gods and goddess
ra [ sun ] , isis [ mom or sumting ] , set [ evil dude ]
lets see now
osiris rocked king of all good guy but then his bro came [ set] and murdered him .. sad story but he aint dead baby .. chopped though ... and parts thrown everywere .. BUT .. you see he and his sis/wife isis [ sad pervs ] had a kid named horus ... now set seriously hated this guy and wanted to murder him but his mom with the help of osirisz trusted advisor hid lill horus in the desert to protect him... the advisor to is seriously imp
anyways isis stung with scorpions to make him stronger .. sad ..
then horus grew up and challenged old set to that who ever would have anothers mark in him would rule egypt [ this parts sick ]
set .. tried to seduce horus so that he can .. well .. err .. drink some .. semen so that his mark would be in him ...
but before that horus [ not clear about this part ] well .. removed some of his semen and put it on some leaves that set ate
anyways back to the seduction set tried to get jiggy but horus er.. tore his testicle and threw it in the sea
and they went forward to the egyptian judges and it was that set had horusz mark in him [ semen ]
so horus ruled eygpt .. yay
and osiris was re in carnated and became rule of the dead and anubis [ could be sets son cause of the head of a jackal or dog ] became gaurdian of the underworld
END
actually theres hell lot more but these points should be there in the project
get it all from www.wikipedia.com
do about these guys to
sets wife , anubis , isis , osriis trusty advisor
some people above wrote that there is amun and ra
actually its the same thing amun ra
and horus aint ras son ... cause both are depicted with heads of birds ..but he is osiris son .. and osirisz trusty advisor is THROTH!!
