The ancient Egyptian religion emerged from the spiritual beliefs and totem traditions of the tribal tribe that settled on the banks of the Nile. Slow progress in social systems has had an impact on the persistence of certain traditions of primitive society (such as animal worship) in various stages of Egyptian history.

These original worship at different times, the worship of the sun, the worship of the Nile, and the worship of various natural forces. The greater the political unity on the succession of events, the initial shirk would have gone into a kind of local unification, but Egypt did not realize all this unification.

Herodotus regarded Egyptians as the most religious nations, and the truth is that Egypt's civilization clearly reveals how much Egyptians care about their religion and their attachment to it. If we want to enumerate the prominent aspects of Egyptian civilization, we will find that religion was at the top of these aspects. The Egyptians have become so attached to their religion that they have adapted their lives and their system of government according to the requirements of this religion.
There is hardly one board in the ancient Egyptian language and literature, except for the religion in which there is income. There is no wall of a temple, cemetery, monument or piece of stone except the inscriptions that have an interest differ in importance in understanding people's beliefs and religious feelings. This is in addition to what is written in most papyrus. We may not be exaggerating if we decide that the nine-tenths of what was preserved by the days of Egyptian inscriptions are reserved for purely religious purposes and the history of Egypt is a history of the evolution of religion and the development of doctrines and the evolution of worship.

The division of the Egyptian goddess according to the genealogical tree will be his work in the analysis of the goddess (this tree according to Dr. Khazal al-Majidi).
The tree of the genealogy of the Egyptian goddess consists of a number of homogeneous divine complexes that can be derived from their origins and roots:

1. The Thamon the Haili: which includes the ancient gods before the universe was created, which are four pairs of gods according to the doctrine of the Ashmonites.

God Creator: He is a multi-name according to the cities in which he appears and his divinity. The Creator God is the first stage in the evolution of the divine into the universe. We have counted seven God-created creatures in Egypt (Shabsi in Khanumu, Ra in On, Tiba, Aton in Tel el-Amarna, Khenum in Elevenanten, Nite in Sais), most of which took on a sunny character.


3. The gods of creation: They are the gods that embodied the elements of the universe. Their totals, legends and nature differed according to the Creator God that came under it. Perhaps the most famous of them are Tasun On,


4. God King Hor: He is the solar god Son who represents the King of God and inheritor of the solar god Creator, and this God several names and forms and sons and his wife is essential
(Hathor).

5. Secondary gods include:
1- The male gods.
2. Female Goddesses.


6. Foreign gods include:
1- The old Iraqi gods (Rafidainia)
2 - Syrian gods and recitation.
3 - Sudanese gods.
4 - Libyan gods.
