him are jackals/dogs, an ox hide hanging from a pole, embaling equipment, flails, and flags. He was the son of Nephthys and Osiris, but some say he was the son of Seth. He was later adopted by Isis. I chose to reserch, and tell you about Anubis because he was a very powerful god and seemed very cool to me, I hope you like him too! **Bast** In Egypt, people worshiped cats. They where so special, that anyone caught hurting or killing a cat, was punished with death! Even if it was by accident! And so they worshiped the goddess of cats too! The goddess of all cats, domestic and wild, was called Pasch, Ubasti, Ba en Aset, and Bastet(but only when she was in full cat form), but she is most often called **Bast.** Because she was the goddess of cats, she had in one of her forms, the head of a cat. Some of her symbols where a lioness, sistrum, Udjat, and of coarse, cats! But she was not only the goddess of cats, she was also the goddess of the rising sun, enlightenment, truth, pleasure, music, dance, joy, health/healing, and proecting against contagious diseses and evil spirits. Her colors are red, green and white. She was the daughter of Ra, wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos. I chose to reserch, and tell you about Bast because she was a very special goddess to the egyptians and she was a very interesting to me, I hope you like her too! This space belongs to W Kim.

Egyptian Gods Horus and Thoth By: W Kim

In ancient Egypt civilizations believed in gods. Some famous gods were Ra, Horus, and Set (sometimes Seth). The gods I chose for my report are Horus and Thoth. I chose these gods because both of them were mostly seen as birds and I personally think bird gods look cooler.

Horus was worshiped as the falcon god, or the god of courage and bravery. However he can change into anything he wants. His other names include Haroeris (Horus the elder), Ra-Harakhte (Horus of two horizons), and Harendotes (avenger of his father). One of the most special symbol of Horus was the "Eye of Horus". It was said the "Eye of Horus" came to be when Horus started the war with Set ( or Seth) and in one scenario Set tears Horus's eye out and the "Eye of Horus" came to be. The eyes of Horus were also referred as the sun and the moon, and when Set tore the eyeball out it was the moon eye and that is why the sun is much stronger than the moon. Horus symbolizes "the distant one" or "one who is high above". Horus was worshiped because he symbolizes courage and protection. Horus's followers were able to conquer Egypt. Horus can change into any animal but like I said he was worshiped as the falcon god.

Horus the falcon god was son of Ra the sun god, but in other stories he was son of Osiris god of the dead and Isis. However, since Horus was the // falcon god // he was sometimes referred as the son of Geb and Nut. Horus's uncle and enemy (in general) was Set. Thoth was the moon god of wisdom, writing, numbers, arts, astronomy, and magic. Thoth played important roles in the Osiris Legend and the Judgment of Dead in the Hall of Matt. Thoth was divine in speech and mighty in knowledge. He was worshiped as the god of knowledge. People worshiped him because he was the wisest of gods. Thoth invented spoken and written languages. Thoth acted as the scribe of gods and patron of all gods. Since Thoth was a scribe he was keeper and recorder of all knowledge. In the Hall of Matt Thoth would judge a dead person's heart with the feather of Matt, but many stories assign Anubis with this job. Thoth's forms include the head of an Ibis (a sacred river swan) with the Atef crown, and a baboon. Other names of Thoth were Tehuti, Djhuty, and Djehuty. One of Thoth's titles were "three times great, great". One of the most interesting facts about Thoth was that he had the curse of Ra which made him say all of Ra's wishes.

Thoth to me was a loner. He had no family except his sister Seshat. His wife was Matt, and Sometimes husband of Seshat as well. This is it for my report on the book of the dead project. I hope every one gets a chance to read my project and learn facts about the amazing gods Horus and Thoth. :)

Osiris

Osiris was the first born in his family. Later on he went on to marry his sister, Isis. His brothers were named Nepthy and Seth. Seth was the one who went on to kill Osiris. His other names were Oser, Aser, and Asar. Isis brought Osiris back to life by performing the "Ritual of Life," and then gave the Ritual to the Egyptians, so they can bring there dead back. Osiris was the father of Horus and God of the dead, resurrection, and fertility. In Egypt, Barley was one of the most important crops and the Egyptian people believed they had Osiris to thank for it. In later years a large temple was built to honour Osiris at Abydos.

Ra

Ra, the sun god of Helipolis, was the most important God of the Ancient Egyptians. He is the father of Tefnut and Shu. They believe that he was swallowed by Neet, the sky goddess, every night, and was reborn in the morning. He had a hawk head, and headless with a sun disk. He appeared with a head of a ram. Ra is one of the most confusing gods to understand.
