Frequently asked questions
›Why do Egyptian gods have animal heads?
Egyptian iconography fused human bodies with animal heads to signal divine domain. Anubis (jackal) for the dead, Horus (falcon) for kingship, Bastet (cat) for protection. Names often reference the animal aspect (Bastet, the Cat-Goddess; Sekhmet, the Lioness).
›Old vs Middle vs New Kingdom names?
Most Egyptian gods span all three periods (3000 BCE to 30 BCE) but specific epithets evolved. Our pool reflects the consolidated New Kingdom (1550-1069 BCE) tradition that became canonical.
›Can I use these for modern Egyptian-mythology fiction?
Yes - ancient Egyptian religion is public domain. The challenge is romanization conventions; we use the most common modern spellings (Anubis not Anpu, Isis not Aset).
