What is Gods, Mythology, and Cosmology about?
No ancient Egyptian treatise defines the essence of gods nor narrates the entirety of a myth. Information on the ancient Egyptian belief system and world view is contained in written and iconographic sources that were generally composed for cultic use in the temple or the funerary sphere. This article sketches the history of study of Egyptian religion, and summarizes definitions and forms of characterizations of deities, as well as the main mythological complexes within which the gods were set in interaction. It also addresses cosmology was a crucial issue of religious thinking and world explanation.
