  1. Egyptian Gods(some of the better known gods)

  2. Ra • Ra - Sun God, King of the Gods (a falcon crowned with a sun disk or a man with a falcon's head) • Ra was the God of the Sun. He sailed across the heavens in a boat called the 'Braque of Millions of Years'. At the end of each day Ra was thought to die and sailed on his night voyage through the Underworld, leaving the Moon to light the world above. The boat would sail through the twelve doors, representing the twelve hours of night-time. The next dawn, he was born again.

  3. Osiris • Osiris - God of the Dead (dressed in white with crook and flail and white crown) • Osiris is shown as a man with a beard wearing white mummy wrappings. His crown is the white crown of Upper Egypt surrounded by red feathers. His skin is green to represent vegetation. He holds the symbols of supreme power, the flail and crook. The crook is used by shepherds to catch their sheep. The flail is used in threshing, to separate the grains from the outer husks.

  4. Isis • Isis - Queen of Goddess (with a throne or sun disk and horns on her head) • Isis was the great mother-goddess. Her son was Horus, the enemy of Seth. Sometimes she has the baby Horus on her lap. Sometimes she has a throne on her head, as she is Queen of the goddesses. Isis was also a great healer and magician. She got her magic powers by tricking Ra.

  5. Horus • Horus - Son of Osiris (a hawk, or a man with a hawk's head crowned with the crown of all Egypt) • Horus is shown as a hawk, or a man with a hawk's head and the crown of all Egypt. This makes him look similar to Ra, but Ra is crowned with the sun disk. Horus' crown is made of two parts. The white part is the crown of Upper Egypt (in the south) and the red part is the crown of Lower Egypt (including the Nile delta). Together they show that Horus ruled all Egypt.

  6. Seth • Seth - God of the desert, storm and violence (animal head with long curved pointed snout) • Seth was the God of the desert, storm and violence, which are all enemies of the fertile, prosperous, narrow valley of the Nile.

Lineage of God’s People • Abraham • Covenant made between God and Abraham that his children would be as numerous as the stars of the sky. • Isaac and Ishmael • Children of Abraham • Isaac = Jewish religion • Ishmael = Islamic religion • Jacob (Israel) • Son of Isaac • 12 sons will become the tribes of Israel. • Joseph, one of the 12, is taken to Egypt and became a ruler. • After a famine, the rest of the family goes to Egypt.
