In Egypt dozens of gods were worshiped. The following list covers the major Egyptian gods, but there were many hundreds more. It is estimated that more than 700 gods were worshiped in the Ancient Egypt. Each population worshiped a god, and the importance of each god resided in the importance of the city where he came from his cult.
