Egyptian Gods Family Tree: Who is Who?
Welcome to Ancient Egypt where the gods are fierce, there’s quite a bit of incest, and sometimes the deities just show up or self-manifest simply because they please.
Anyone who has spent even a moment doing some curiosity-induced internet searching about the gods of Ancient Egypt has likely been confused as to how they all relate to each other, who has the head of which animal, who sent a plague, and what their role even was in Ancient Greece.
That is exactly where this family-tree looking thing comes in and hopefully, a little explanation will satisfy some early-stage curiosity.
Starting with Nun, who might actually be a place more than a personified deity, and through a couple of different branches of this convoluted family tree, we’ll try to make some sense of things.
