There were a number of local Nile gods, including Hapy, the God of the Nile. Goddesses are often distinguished from one another by their headdresses and jewelry around their neck.

Some were major deities with great powers and religious significance. The ancient Egyptians visualized their deities in many ways and these deities took a variety of forms. Favored gods and their symbols often changed from year to year and region to region. Grasping the pantheon of Egyptian gods and their symbols is a difficult task. There were gods with specific duties, gods associated with specific tasks, gods worshiped in certain areas, gods enshrined in homes and gods associated with natural manifestations such as water and air. There were supreme gods, subsidiary ones.
