Egyptian Gods Decoded

Egyptian Gods Decoded covers a religious tradition that ran for over three thousand years, which means there is rarely a single answer to any question about it. The site treats that variation as the subject rather than an inconvenience.

It works through the competing creation accounts from Heliopolis, Memphis and Hermopolis, the Great Ennead, and the major gods with their overlapping roles.

Funerary religion — the journey of the dead, the weighing of the heart, and the texts written to get someone through it — gets substantial treatment, as does the daily temple ritual almost nobody was allowed to see.
