This is for D Sun Woo The two Egyption gods that I am reasearching is Ra and Osiris. __Ra__: Ra represents the sun, so Ra is the sun god. The ancient Egyptions thought Ra created the world because they believed that the sun was a sign of the light, life, purification, and creation. Ra is pronounced Ra, Re, or Amun- Ra. Ra was closely related to the phraohs because he was despite being a creator. In the afternoons, Ra took the shape of god Atum who is the original creator of the universe. In the midday, he was his own self, which is usually depicted in the shape of a man with a falcon head. It is a little confusing because Horus also is a man with a falcon head, but Ra wore a sundisk encircled by a cobra on it's head, while Horus wore a crown. Ra's families' names are Bast, Tefnut, Shu, Geb, Nut, Apophis, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. Ra's wife's name was Nefertiti. __Osiris__: Osiris was chosen to judge the dead mortals who wanted to follow him to heaven which made him the god of resurrection. Osiris was also pronounced like Asar, Asari, Aser, Ausar, Wesir, Usir, Usire, or Ausare. He was the first childof Geb, the earth god, and Nut. Osiris's brother is Seth, and his sisters are Nephthys, and Isis who was also his wife. Osiris was the father of Horus by Isis, and also a father of Anubis by Nephthys. After Osiris died, he was described as the " Lord of love ", " He who is permanently benign and youthful " , and the ' lord of silence." Since Osiris ruled the deads, he was also called the " king of the living."
