This is for D Shin. I am doing my report on Ra and Apophis.

Ra was born by rising out of the Water of Chaos. Egyptians believed that Ra created the world. He was the god of the sun. When the sun sets, he would travel to Duat with Osirus. Osirus guided him through Duat to rise again. When Ra went into the underworld, he had to cross through water so he was forced to use a boat to save his fire. The gods protected his boat from danger. The temporary failure to protect the boat caused solar eclipse.
 * Ra**:

His names were Ra, Ra-Atum, Amon Ra, Khepri, Khnum, and Ra Horakhty. Sometimes he was shown as a man, or a man with a falcon head. He will always be identified by a sun disk.

Once Isis wanted her son to replace Ra so when Ra's saliva fell on earth, Isis scooped it up, made a snake out of it, then got it to bite him. Ra had to tell Isis his secret name to save himself. By doing that, Horus, Isis's son, will later replace him.

He is the brother of Apophis, his worst enemy. He was the biggest threat on the journey. So egyptions worshipped him and made rituals to keep away Apophis and prayed to keep him safe.

Family: Bast, Tefnut, Apophis, Shu, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Seth, Nephthys. **Apophis**: Apophis, also spelled Apepi, Aapep, or Apep was an evil god of darkness and chaos. He was the brother of Ra, his arch enemy. He is seen as a serpent, crocodile, or a dragon.

He cannot attack Ra in daytime so Apep has to lie just below the horizon, making him part of the underworld. In battles, Apep hypnoticed Ra with his eyes to devour him while the gods rushed to save him. When Apophis manages to swallow him in daytime, causing solar eclipses or storms, the gods will cut him free so that's why eclipses only last a few minutes. When Apep died, he always returned each night. People worshipped against him. People had rituals to drive Apep away. People prayed for Ra to survive and defeat Apophis.

This is for J Park Set or Seth, Suetekh, Sut, or Suty are other names for my god. My god is the god of chaos, confusion, storms, wind, desert, and foreign lands. He was praised for in afterlife, friends ascend to heaven on his ladder and protected the life giving oases of the desert. Set was seen with a body of a manand, the head of a beast like an aardvark. He was also seen as a crocodile.
 * __Set__**

Set's mom was Nut, his dad was Geb, his brothers were Osiris, Horus the elder, Isis, and Nephthys.

A interesting fact about Set is that he had his own temple. The cool part was that only Set and Set's priests were allowed in the temple. Priests did ceremonies, sacrifices, and chants in the temple.

Hapi's other names were Hep, Hap, and Hapy. Hapi was the goddess of water, fish, and birds. People praising him can have infinite supply of resources flowing. Hapi was seen as a fat man with blue or green skin, representing the water. Hapi was also seen as a hippo and a cobra. Hapi doesn't have a big family. It's only him and his wife Nekhbet. Some interesting facts about Hapi is that he was the god of upper and lower Egypt. Statues and reliefs were found in temples and other deities. He was worshiped throughout Egypt, but especially at Aswain and Gebel El-Silisila.

This is for K Sunderland, I am doing my report on Bast and Anubis. I now have completed my homework. I love purple!!!!

Bast : Bast's other name was Ailuros. She was the goddess of the sun (originally, but then was thought to be the goddess of the moon by the Greeks), cats, women, secrets, fire, and homes. The Egyptians saw her as a desert cat and a women with the head of a cat. She was a wild goddess who gave great blessings, but her wrath was legendary. Cats are sacred to Bast. She was not married, and had no children. Bast replaced Sekhmet as the warier of Ra. She was the daughter of Ra, sister of Khonsu, the moon god. Her center of worship was in Bubastis. Bast was one of the most famous sun/moon goddesses in egyptian history. Anubis : Anubis was the god of funerals, the jackal, ox-hide hanging from a pole, embalming equipment, flail, and flags. He was the son of Osiris and Nephthys. His domain was cemeteries and the underworld. He was seen as a man with the head of a jackal. Anubis lived in the underworld with Osiris and was a stop for Ra to rest on his nightly journey.
