Some ancient egyptian gods were born from the myths or stories,this myths came from natural disasters that happend in Egypt so Egyptian people needed an explanation for what was happening,the conclusion was that they made gods angy with their sins so Gods are returning it to them by flooding or by some other disaster.People of Egypt had strong belif in afterlife,often they buried family members with tools,jewlery,food,drink,weapons and other things that the dead could use in their afterlife.Some artifacts were found as proof of that but most were stolen by tomb thiefs later.Ancient egyptian gods and godesses were probably mostly worshiped because of people's fear about gods rage and natural disasters.
