Ma'at was the goddess of truth, because Ma'at in egyptian meant truth. She was also the goddess of order because she was always keeping everyone in order, justice because she was a judge and balance because she was in harmony with what was right. Her names were the Patron of truth, law and order. She always wore a crown surmounted with an ostrich feather in her dark black hair. She also always had wings and held the symbol of life in her hand. Lastly, she wore scales to weigh peoples hearts in and her totem symbol was a platform or fountain. She was married to Thouth and and she was the daughter of Ra who was the god of the Sun. Also, her brother was Osiris the god of the Underworld and Vegetation. Some interesting facts about Ma'at is that she had a hall of Ma'at. She also had a well developed legal system in her small temple Hatshepsut. Also, her sacred bird was the ostrich. Another interestig fact was that she did not exist until Ra rose from the waters of Nun which was a river in Nigeria. I really enjoyed learning more about Ma'at.

Isis was the egyptian god of love, magic, fertility and healing. She was also called "The One Who Is All", Isis Panthea and "The One With Ten Thousand Names". She was the daughter of Geb the god of Earth, and Nut the Goddess of the Sky. In human form she had beautiful black hair. But, in animal form she had the horns of a cow. Some interesting facts about Isis are that she taught her people the skills of reading, writing and agriculture. She was worshipped as the goddess of medicene and wisdom. Another interesting fact was that there was a temple dedicated to Isis. Also, in that temple there was a large statue also dedicated to Isis. I really enjoyed learning about Isis one of the 2,000 Egyptian Gods.



This is for B Noveron Hey I'm doing my research for the gods Hapi and Geb!!

Geb- He is known as the god of Earth. The name that he is also called is Keb. "The Great Cackler" and is represented as a goose. He is also the husband of Nut. His sibling was also Nut. His parents were Shu- the god of air. And Tefnut- the goddess of moisture. Geb was one of the most important gods of all, because he came from a line of other important gods.It was believed that in Egypt that Geb's laughter was earthquakes and allowing crops to grow.

Hapi- Hapi was the father of all the gods people say. He is known as the god of nile (river/stream). His symbols were running water. He is confused with Horus' son Hapy. Hapi's wife was named Nekhebet, she was the goddess of the south. Hapi wore papyrus plants, a symbol of lower Egypt. Hapi is a plaump manwith blue skin and has a fake beard froma pharoah. Since Hapi was the god of the nile, then the people would toss special things or money into the nile for Hapi and for thanking Hapi for all what he has done.
