A god of the earth and the underworld, the ancient Egyptians also associated Aker with the lion. In fact, they represented him in hieroglyphs as either a roaring lion or as two lions sitting back-to-back with each other.
His most important role, though, involved protecting dead Pharaohs during their journey to the afterlife. In particular, the ancient Egyptians believed Aker held off three demonic snakes: Hemtet, Iqeru, and Jagw. He had help in this role from two other gods, Geb and Set. Aker also had another important role as a ferryman for Ra's solar barge while it carried the Sun through the underworld.
Amun
Also known as Amon, Amun originally had only a minor role during the Old Kingdom. This later changed from the Middle Kingdom onward, thanks to his role as the patron god of the capital city of Thebes. This increase in importance led to Amun becoming identified alongside Ra, as the god Amun-Ra.
Amun-Ra's importance made him one of the most well-known ancient Egyptian gods, rivaled only by Osiris. In particular, the ancient Egyptians considered him the champion of the poor and the oppressed. Archaeologists have even noted evidence of Amun-Ra as something of a semi-monotheistic deity, with most ancient Egyptians likely to pray to him over other deities. Later, the ancient Greeks associated Amun-Ra with their own supreme godhead Zeus, as Zeus Ammon.
Amunet
Also known as Amonet and Imnt, Amunet remains one of the more enigmatic ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. Originally, archaeologists consider her a goddess imagined and worshiped as the wife of Amun-Ra. Also, their first findings pointed to her cult developing late in ancient Egypt's history, specifically in the Ptolemaic Dynasty. However, later findings pointed to Amunet as existing as far back as the Old Kingdom. In particular, the Pyramid Texts refer to Amunet as a primordial creation goddess.
At first, the ancient Egyptians considered her analogous to the goddess Mut, and wife to Ra. Later on, with the rise of Amun-Ra to prominence, Amunet and Mut's cults diverged, with Amunet becoming wife to Amun-Ra.

Anhur
A god of war, Anhur's importance to the ancient Egyptians was reflected in his title – the Slayer of Enemies. They also warmly regarded his reputation as a devoted husband, who stayed faithful and always returned to his wife, Mehit. As the patron god of Egypt's army, festivals dedicated to Anhur featured mock battles before public audiences.
This also made him attractive to the Romans, with Emperor Tiberius building temples to Anhur in Roman Egypt during his reign. Before the Romans, the Ancient Greeks similarly equated him to Ares, but also strangely changed his totem animal. While the ancient Egyptians associated Anhur with a lion, the Ancient Greeks associated him with a fish.

One of the most well-known Egyptian gods, Anubis also strangely finds himself misrepresented in modern culture. The Mummy franchise, in particular, explicitly describes him as a dark god who made pacts with tyrants offering power in exchange for their souls. In short, he somehow became associated with the Devil.
In truth, Anubis' role in ancient Egypt involved protecting and judging the souls of the dead. Only after passing his judgment would Anubis allow Horus to lead the dead before Osiris himself. Ancient Egyptians thus greatly honored Anubis, building statues of his totem animal, the jackal, before their tombs and even on top of their sarcophagi. They hoped that by doing so, Anubis would frighten away any demons and other evil spirits that might disturb their resting places.
Also known as Anaqa or Anqet, the ancient Egyptians worshiped her as the goddess of the Nile's rapids. She also doubled as the patron goddess of Lower Nubia, which today includes Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan. The ancient city of Elephantine on the Nile island of the same name also worshiped her as its patron goddess.
Anuket also held the title of Eye of Ra, which she inherited from her father Ra. As the Eye of Ra, Anuket served as a guardian of the dawn and helped protect her father from evil spirits. However, this also made her unstable, with many legends showing Anuket going on a rampage while the other gods and goddesses tried to calm her down.
His name literally means Sun Disc, and originally doubled as a minor title used by Ra. However, during the reign of Amenhotep IV, the Pharaoh attempted to reinvent Aten as the name of a new monotheistic deity. This led to him renaming himself Akhenaten, which literally means Effective for the Aten, essentially equating himself to the god. Akhenaton also built a new capital city in place of Thebes, Akhetaten, meaning "horizon of the Aten". This made Akhenaton many enemies, as he forced people to abandon their traditional deities and solely worship Aten.
After his death, the ancient Egyptians abandoned Akhetaten as well as worship of Aten. Succeeding Pharaohs even tore down Akhenaton's monuments, and erased his name and titles from all records. Instead, they simply referred to him as The Enemy, with the only surviving references coming from the ruins of Akhetaten and from ancient Egypt's neighbors.
The oldest of the Egyptian gods and goddesses, Atum held the role of the creator god. In fact, the ancient Egyptians called him The Complete One, as he alone existed before creation. They believed he created himself out of nothing and created the cosmos in his image. He also created humanity, which emerged from his tears of joy at finding his children after they had wandered off.
The cult of Atum centered itself in the city of Heliopolis, which associated him with Ra. This association comes from Atum's role as the original bearer of the Eye of Ra, which he used to find his missing children in the myth.
Also known as Bast and Bubastis, she became one of ancient Egypt's most popular goddesses. This resulted from her role as a guardian goddess who protected homes and families from the ravages of war. While sometimes associated with the lioness, Bastet most commonly appeared as a cat, a similarly beloved pet in ancient Egypt. Much like Bastet did, cats commonly served to protect homes and families in ancient Egypt, specifically from poisonous snakes.
Between their important household role and their association with Bastet, cats in ancient Egypt gained a sacrosanct position in society. This meant that anyone who deliberately harmed a cat would find themselves condemned to death. Similarly, when a family cat died, the family would go into mourning, and would even mummify and entomb the pet like they would a relative.

One of the oldest ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, Bat largely disappeared from the official record in the Middle Kingdom. This resulted from her association with the cow, leading to her cult's subsumption into the cult of Hathor. Archaeologists think that her cult's loss of influence also resulted from her limited presence compared to Hathor. In particular, they discovered that Bat rarely appeared in human form as Hathor did. Instead, her images only implied her presence, usually in the form of a cow or a herd of cows.
That said, even after her cult's subsumption, Bat did not simply vanish into obscurity. In fact, she remained known as the patron goddess of the sistrum, a musical instrument commonly used in religious rituals in ancient Egypt.
Bennu
One of the more obscure ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, Bennu appears to have served a similar role as a creator god much like Atum. In fact, some archaeologists consider him the original form of Atum which became altered over time. Like Atum, Bennu apparently created himself out of nothing, before singing the cosmos into existence.
His personality is later passed onto Ra but will return to his body at the end of time. This led to him becoming associated with not simply the creation and the Sun, but also rebirth. Some historians even think Bennu may have inspired phoenix myths in Southern Europe and Western Asia.
A god of the earth, Geb held an important role in ancient Egypt, with farmers praying to him for a good harvest. He also held the title of Father of Snakes, represented in official imagery by a cobra sitting on his head. This led to ancient Egyptians, in general, praying to him to keep his children from attacking them and their families.
Even when snakes attacked them regardless, the people continued to worship Geb, for giving them a way to counter the snakes' venom. Specifically, antivenom, which ancient Egyptians learned to distill from the same venom snakes could use to kill them.
One of the most important ancient Egyptian gods, Hapi's importance came from his status as the god of the Nile. This is reflected by his blue skin, which referred to the waters of the Nile. As ancient Egypt completely depended on the Nile just to survive, the people prayed to Hapi to bring the annual floods on time.
They also prayed that the floods would come in moderation, to keep their homes from getting washed away. Even then, floods would sometimes come in overwhelming strength, but this didn't stop the ancient Egyptians from worshiping Hapi. The Nile and Hapi are simply too important for them to curse the overwhelming floods. Instead, they saw such things as a form of divine retribution, leading to shows of public penance and extended acts of devotion to appease the god.
As the goddess of love, Hathor enjoyed importance as a protector of marriage and the family and as someone who blessed couples with many healthy children. She also doubled as the wife of Horus, making her a sky goddess in her own right, and a companion to Ra as he sailed the skies on his solar barge. Hathor even possessed the Eye of Ra, which she used to protect Ra from any evil spirits.
While commonly appearing as a beautiful woman, Hathor also appeared in the form of a cow, representing another one of her aspects, that of the goddess of fertility. This earned her devotion from farmers and herders, who prayed to her for good harvests and to keep their flocks healthy and safe.
Hatmehit
The patron goddess of the city of Djedet, Hatmehit primarily served as the city's protector against floods. She also doubled as a fish goddess, ensuring good catches for the city's fishermen, leading to prosperity and preventing starvation. Some records also point to Hatmehit as the goddess of perfumes, reflecting Djedet's status as a center for perfume production in ancient Egypt.
This led to her title as the Lady of Myrrh, as well as the Lady of Punt, Punt referring to a foreign name for ancient Egypt, and its reputation for exporting perfumes and incense in large quantities. Some fragmentary texts also associate Hatmehit with an aspect of other goddesses, such as Isis and Hathor.

Heqet
Also known as Heket, she makes up one of the more obscure ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. Heqet served dual roles as a goddess of floods and fertility, which had a connection in ancient Egypt thanks to the land's dependence on the annual Nile floods for farming. This made her recognized as Hathor in some sources, but Heqet associated herself with the frog instead of the cow. Similarly, this gave her a connection with Hapi, the god of the Nile.
Ancient Egyptians, however, generally focused on her role as a fertility goddess, specifically as the guardian of women during childbirth. One myth even describes Heqet as breathing life back into Horus after Isis gave birth to a stillborn son. This later led early Christians to disguise themselves as devotees of Heqet to protect themselves from Roman persecution, thanks to her association with resurrection.
Hesat
Hesat makes up something of a mystery within the archaeological community, over her limited representation in both art and records despite her importance. Originally, Hesat counted as just another one of Hathor's manifestations, a fertility goddess symbolized by a cow.
However, Hesat later gained much importance as the patron goddess of beermakers, with beer as the most common alcoholic beverage in ancient Egypt. This even later led to Hesat's milk being described as the milk that nurtures the life of humanity. Despite that, Hesat remains underrepresented in ancient Egyptian findings. The studies into this mystery continue to this day.
Also known as Heru, Hor, and Har, Horus served as the god of kingship and the sky. The only son of Osiris and Isis, Horus succeeded his father as ruler of the earth after avenging Osiris' murder by Set. In fact, this resulted in the divine status of the Pharaohs, as the ancient Egyptians saw them as Horus incarnated in human form. Horus also served as a protector deity, again as a result of his vengeance against Set. The battle between the two gods saw Set tearing out one of Horus' eyes, which fell to the earth.
This became the Eye of Horus, which ancient Egyptians used as a form of protection against evil spirits and magic. In fact, some people still use the Eye of Horus today as a form of protection against bad luck and the evil eye. Horus also had direct and indirect roles in the Egyptian afterlife. As we mentioned earlier, Horus escorted souls who'd passed Anubis' judgment to meet his father Osiris. Similarly, Horus and Hathor's sons, Duamutef, Hapy, Imsety, and Qebehsenuef protected the bodies of the dead from demons that might possess them.
Imentet
Also known as Ament, Amentet, and Imentit, all her names roughly translate to She of the West. Imentet makes up something of a paradox among ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, in the sense that she only had limited worship. At the same time, however, Imentet held a very important role, that of the guardian goddess of ancient Egypt's necropoles.
In fact, her name references this, as the ancient Egyptians always tried to bury their dead west of the Nile as much as possible. This comes from the fact that they associated the western direction with death, from how the Sun always set in the west. Thus, the ancient Egyptians built entire cities in the Libyan Desert composed solely of tombs. While these necropoles had small numbers of guards and attendants, spiritually, they entrusted their protection to Imentet.
Osiris' wife, Isis became known for how she recovered her husband's body after his betrayal and death by Set. By putting him back together in the underworld, Osiris returned to life and became ruler of the afterlife. This also led to the ancient Egyptians attributing mummification and with it the means to reach the afterlife to Isis. Isis stayed with her husband in the afterlife, leaving the rule of the living world to Horus and Hathor. Despite this, Isis remained worshiped as the goddess of healing, motherhood, matrimony, and the family.
Outside ancient Egypt, the Nubians also worshiped her as the goddess of magic, with knowledge and skill in the arcane beyond any other deity. When the Romans conquered Egypt, she even gained a small following in Rome, which endured until the rise of Christianity. Even then, some historians think that the Christian practice of the veneration of the Virgin Mary may have originated from the Roman Cult of Isis.
Khepri
Khepri makes up another paradox among ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. On one hand, as the god of the dawn, he enjoyed a great deal of importance, appearing very often in his animal form of the scarab beetle. He also held the role of the god of rebirth, inspired by how scarab beetles lay their eggs inside balls of dung.
Once the eggs hatch, the larvae grow inside the dung, only emerging after growing into adults. On the other hand, despite his importance, Khepri had no dedicated cult of his own. Instead, the ancient Egyptians treated him as an aspect of Ra, shown in how many artworks of the scarab beetle have them carrying the Sun between their jaws.

Khnum
Also known as Khnemu, Khnum is one of the most important ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. This is reflected in his titles: the Divine Potter and the Lord of Created Things from Himself. Both titles referenced his status as the god of clay, which linked him with the Nile and its floods. However, the ancient Egyptians regarded Khnum as more than just another fertility god.
In particular, they believed Khnum was the one who sculpted their children's bodies after conception, and that of every human who ever lived. This also made him a protector god for children, with parents praying to Khnum to protect them as an artist would his creations.
Khonsu
The son of Amun and Mut, Khonsu held the role of the god of the Moon, referenced by his name which means "traveler". In some ways, the ancient Egyptians saw him as parallel to Ra and worshiped him in thanks for lighting the night in Ra's absence. Together with his parents, Khonsu formed the Theban Triad, a divine family that similarly paralleled the family of Osiris, Isis, and their son Horus.
Khonsu's other roles included ruling over time, a role he shared with Thoth. Khonsu also later became known as a god of healing, especially during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. This role would also see Khonsu's cult spreading outside of Egypt and into neighboring lands.
Maahes
The son of Ptah and Bastet, Maahes took after his mother as a god of war and protection. He also became associated with the lion, again much like Bastet, which his name's meaning "he who is true beside her". In addition to war and protection, Maahes' aspects included the weather, lotus flowers, and even knives. Myths also claim Maahes helped defend Ra's solar barge in the underworld against the primordial serpent of chaos, Apep.
Ironically, Maahes' titles included the Lord of Slaughter, from how Maahes showed no mercy in battle and never took any prisoners. Archaeologists also think Maahes originally came from Nubia, specifically the Nubian war god Apedemak, which underwent Egyptianization during Egypt's conquest of Nubia.
A daughter of Ra, Maat's importance is reflected in the many roles she inherited from her father, as well as her name, which literally meant "truth". As the goddess of truth, Maat held the responsibility of upholding the cosmic order itself. Ancient Egyptian legends have Maat reminding other deities of their proper roles, as well as bringing down divine retribution on mortals for their sins.
Maat also provided the Feather of Truth to Anubis, who used it to judge the souls of the dead. A soul must either balance or weigh lighter than the feather to earn passage to the afterlife. If a soul proves heavier than the feather, Anubis would condemn them to the demon Ammit. Maat thus became the goddess of justice in both life and death.
Her other roles included ruling over the seasons and ensuring they followed the proper order and time. Maat also served as the goddess of the stars and ensured their proper places in the constellations of the sky. Again, this reflected her primary role as the goddess of truth and with it, the cosmic order.
Menhit
Also known as Menchit, Menhit originally came from Nubia, which underwent Egyptianization after the Egyptian Conquest. A goddess of war, Menhit became the patron goddess of archers, who held the most important role in ancient Egypt's army.
In fact, when the ancient Egyptians went to war, they tried to keep their distance as much as possible, allowing their archers to slaughter their enemies from a distance. This is reflected in Menchit's title, that of She Who Massacres. Ironically, Menhit also held the role of a protected goddess and that of the Pharaoh himself. The Pharaoh's crown reflected this by featuring a cobra in honor of Menhit.
Montu
One of the oldest ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, Montu's identity has varied over the millennia of ancient Egypt's long history. Originally an aspect of Ra, Montu became associated with the destructive power of the Sun. Later on, he became an aspect of Horus instead, symbolizing the Pharaoh's authority over ancient Egypt's armies.
In both aspects, Montu held the role of a god of war, representing commanding authority over armies. In fact, one of the Pharaoh's titles referenced Montu's role, that of the Son of Montu. Pharaoh Thutmose III, also called Thutmose the Great, even became considered Montu incarnate during his lifetime, owing to his skill as a commander and a conqueror.

Also known as Maut and Mout, Mut held the role of a primordial goddess as Ra's wife. She retained this role even after Ra's identity was merged with Amun's to become Amun-Ra, with Mut's identity merging with Amunet's. Mut's importance became so great that, unlike other goddesses, her official images show her wearing the Pharaoh's crown. Mut even became the patron goddess of Karnak, one of ancient Egypt's biggest religious centers.
The ancient Egyptians also dedicated the Opet Festival to her, when they celebrated the coming of the annual Nile floods that marked the beginning of the planting season. Other festivals dedicated to her included the days-long Beautiful Festival of the Valley, where the ancient Egyptians celebrated the wonder of life itself.
Nefertum
Also known as Nefertem and Nefer-temu, Nefertum embodied the lotus flower that marked the first life to bloom in the cosmos after its creation. His name reflects this, which means "beautiful one that closes" or "one who does not close". Other myths also describe Nefertum as having sprung from the first rays of the Sun to strike the primordial waters.
They also describe him as the son of Ptah, with either Sekhmet or Bast as his mother. Ancient Egyptians depicted Nefertum as a young man wearing a lotus flower on his head. They also carried small votive figures of the god with them as good luck charms.
Neith
A primordial deity from the first few centuries of ancient Egyptian civilization, Neith held the role of a primordial mother goddess. Before worship of Atum spread, the ancient Egyptians regarded her as the creator of the universe. Similarly, she held the role of upholder of the cosmic balance, until the rise of the cult of Maat.
Despite the rise of rival deities and her own demotion, the worship of Neith never faded in ancient Egypt. Instead, she became a warrior goddess, something reflected by her name which means She is the Terrifying One. She also paradoxically held the role of the patron goddess of the craft of weaving and served as a protector goddess of mothers.
Nekhbet
Nekhbet counts as one of the more mysterious ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses because her worship took place in prehistoric times. In fact, all records of her existence date from the predynastic period, before the unification of ancient Egypt by Pharaoh Narmer. At the time, the prototypical ancient Egyptians identified her with the vulture, as well as a protector goddess of the kings of Upper Egypt.
The vulture would remain part of the royal symbols of ancient Egypt, featuring alongside the cobra on the Pharaoh's crown. Nekhbet, however, would find her identity and role subsumed into those of Nephthys.
Nemty
One of the oldest ancient Egyptian gods, his worship goes back to the Second Dynasty between 2890 and 2686 BC. He's also one of the most mysterious to archaeologists, with most records of his original role lost to the ages. The records that remain point to Nemty mostly becoming just another aspect of Horus by the height of the Old Kingdom.
That said, the surviving records do give Nemty a distinct role as the patron god of ferrymen. They also record a myth where Nemty offends Set by helping Isis stop Set from gaining support from the other gods. As punishment, Set has Nemty's toes chopped off, crippling the god and keeping him from fulfilling his role.
Neper
The god of grain, he held the title of Lord of the Mouth, referencing his dominion over the staple food of ancient Egypt. Other forms of Neper's name include Nepra and Nepri. Official images of Neper show him having mottled skin, symbolizing the ears of wheat. Originally a separate god in his own right, Neper later became subsumed into Osiris, simply becoming another aspect of the latter god.
However, even with reduced importance, his cult retained influence, in connection with the cult of the goddess Renenutet. This resulted from Neper's status as Renenutet's son, which remained a point of religious dogma despite Osiris' subsumption of Neper.

Nephthys
Isis' sister, Nephthys held the role of a protector of the dead and shared with Isis the role of the patron goddess of funerary arts and rituals. Ironically, the myths also name her Set's wife, but she helped her sister regardless in recovering Osiris' body. Set surprisingly never blamed his wife for his actions, implying a loving relationship between them.
In addition to protecting the dead, Nephthys also doubled as a protector goddess for temple priestesses. She also watched over the distilling of beer and patrolled the night for evil spirits trying to take advantage of the Sun's absence. Mothers in labor also prayed to Nephthys for strength and for the safe birth of their children.
The goddess of the sky, the ancient Egyptians often showed her as a naked woman bent over the world. As the daughter of Shu and Tefnut, she counted Atum as her grandfather and had four important children of her own: Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, and Set. The myths also claim that Ra had forbidden Nut to give birth any day of the year, but with Thoth's help, Nut found a way around this restriction. She gambled with Khonsu, with the Moon God putting a night's worth of moonlight as the prize.
Eventually, Khonsu lost enough that Nut had five more nights of moonlight than a year's number of days. This allowed Nut to give birth to her children without actually breaking Ra's command. Outraged by Nut's trickery, Ra forcibly separated Nut from her husband Geb, but Nut never once regretted her decision.
The most iconic ancient Egyptian god of them all, Osiris once ruled over the earth with his sister-wife Isis. This made their brother Set jealous, causing him to murder and chop Osiris, before scattering his remains in the desert. Isis, however, recovered all of her husband's pieces and put him back together to make the first mummy.
She then brought Osiris' body to the underworld, where he returned to life. Even after their son Horus defeated Set and reclaimed his father's throne, though, Osiris remained in the underworld to rule over the afterlife. This led the ancient Egyptians to worship him as the god of eternal life, who made death into simply a gateway to a new life for those who deserved it.
Pakhet
A hunting goddess who gained popularity during the Middle Kingdom, Pakhet also doubled as a desert goddess. Her title referenced this, the Goddess of the Mouth of the Wadi, with wadi referring to the Nile Valley. Desert hunters prayed to her not just for success, but also for a safe return back to the Nile after their hunts.
Though primarily associated with the lioness, the ancient Egyptians also sometimes saw her as an aspect of Bastet. In particular, archaeologists have found catacombs specifically for mummified cats under Pakhet's temples from the New Kingdom. Later on, during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the ancient Greeks also associated Pakhet with their own hunting goddess, Artemis.
Ptah
Another version of a creator god, Ptah supposedly created the cosmos by literally describing it in words. After he created the world, he then created the other gods and goddesses, again by speaking their names and describing their roles. This also resulted in the ancient Egyptian belief of gaining immortality by remembering the names of the dead. Much like how Ptah created the cosmos through the power of speech, so too could they bring the dead back to a semblance of life by speaking in their memory.
Ptah also served as the patron god of craftsmen and artisans, with specially gifted engineers often becoming seen as his mortal children. For instance, the priest and architect Imhotep from the Old Kingdom designed the first pyramids. Regarded as a son of Ptah in life, the ancient Egyptians worshiped him as a god in his own right.
The god of the Sun, Ra practically symbolized ancient Egypt as a whole, with the Sun Disc that symbolized him also doubling as the land's symbol. His importance became reflected in how he ruled over all creation, overlord of both Horus and Osiris, who ruled over the earth and the afterlife, respectively. The ancient Egyptians also did not see Ra as an idle ruler, for Ra spent all his time constantly sailing his solar barge.
In the day, he would sail across the sky from east to west, bringing light to the land. At the same time, his movements across the sky moderated the Sun's heat and light, keeping it from destroying the land. At the end of the day, he would descend under the western horizon, bringing life to the underworld even as the land rested in the night, before starting the cycle once again with the sunrise.

Renenutet
Also known as Ernutet and Renenet, Renenutet held the role of the goddess of the harvest. This led to great festivals in her honor during the harvest season, as thanks for Renenutet giving the people plenty of food. In ancient Egypt's myths, Renenutet also nursed Horus during his childhood, ensuring he grows up healthy and strong.
That said, while primarily a benevolent deity, Renenutet also has a dark side. The ancient Egyptians associated her with the cobra, who had the power to kill with a simple look. This led to them worshiping her as a protector goddess in her own right, with people carrying cobra-headed charms as protection against evil spirits.
Satet
Another war goddess, Satet shared with Menhit the role of the patron goddess of archery. However, Satet had her own distinctive aspect, that of the Nile's goddess of protection. During the Old Kingdom, she also guarded Egypt against attack from the south, but this role faded in the Middle Kingdom onward.
This resulted from ancient Egypt's growing military power, with the kingdom slowly but steadily expanding south to conquer Nubia. In addition, Satet's protective role over the Nile also made her a fertility goddess in her own right. In particular, the ancient Egyptians believed she had some say in ensuring the coming of the annual Nile floods.
Sekhmet
The mightiest among ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses of war, Sekhmet's power proved so great that only Ra could control her. This resulted from her possession of the Eye of Ra, which gave her a portion of Ra's own power. In fact, the ancient Egyptians believed that Sekhmet inherited the power of the noontime Sun when the Sun's heat and light reached their peak.
This led to her receiving great honor from the ancient Egyptians, with the Pharaohs personally making offerings to her before battles. Sekhmet also doubled as a protector goddess for the Pharaohs in death, defending their souls against demons as they traveled to the afterlife.
Like Anubis, Set commonly gets misrepresented in modern media. On one hand, Set did murder his brother Osiris out of jealousy and usurped the rule of the earth until Horus reclaimed his inheritance. That said, the ancient Egyptians also worshiped Set as the god of the desert, and with it, the main protector god of their land. This resulted from how most of ancient Egypt's enemies found the desert around the Nile a dangerous barrier to even try and pass.
Foreign visitors to ancient Egypt also enjoyed Set's protection, the god guaranteeing them safety and hospitality so long as they followed the land's laws. However, Set's most important role involved personally protecting Ra's solar barge from the primordial serpent of chaos, Apep.
A primordial god in ancient Egypt, Shu's name literally means "emptiness". Together with his sister Tefnut, Shu had two children, Nut and Geb, who became the parents of Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, and Set. Nut giving birth to her children angered Ra, who commanded Shu to forcibly separate Nut from Geb, with Shu reluctantly obeying. This became the origin of his role as the god of the sky, a role he shared with his grandson Horus.
Shu also became associated with a cool and refreshing wind, as well as with peace. Archaeologists have also discovered a myth about how Shu and Tefnut once argued with each other. This led the two to separate and caused the drought that destroyed the Old Kingdom. Only Thoth's intervention to bring Shu and Tefnut back together finally ended the drought.
The crocodile god Sobek held a paradoxical role within ancient Egypt. On one hand, people feared him for his children, the crocodiles which formed the apex predators of the Nile. They preyed on both livestock and people, and could even break into homes or sink boats to get at people. For this reason, people prayed to Sobek to spare them from his children's hunger.
But at the same time, the ancient Egyptians saw Sobek as the embodiment of physical power, inspired by the powerful bodies of the Nile crocodiles. Children carried crocodile-shaped charms so they would grow up healthy and strong, while soldiers similarly made offerings to Sobek to make them stronger than their enemies.

Tefnut
Tefnut and her brother Shu emerged from their father Atum's shadow shortly after the universe's creation. She and Shu had two children, Nut and Geb, making Tefnut grandmother to Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, and Set. Tefnut's roles included serving as the goddess of moisture and the rain, a rarity in Egypt outside of the Nile.
That said, the ancient Egyptians knew that the Nile depended on plenty of rain in its headwaters to flow, and so prayed to Tefnut to keep the Nile flowing. One of their myths even claimed that at one point, Tefnut's anger caused the Nile to dry up, bringing catastrophe to the land.
Thoth
The baboon or ibis god, the ancient Egyptians believed Thoth taught them how to read and write and how to understand the world around them. This made him the patron god of scribes, doctors, scientists, and philosophers. He also held the role of a god of magic in his own right and shared the role of god of the Moon with Khonsu.
Thoth also helped his wife Maat uphold the cosmic order, and often joined her in escorting Ra during his never-ending journey. Thoth also played a role in the ancient Egyptian afterlife, as the one who recorded the proceedings of Anubis as he judged the souls of the dead.
Wadj-wer
An obscure and rather strange god, Wadj-wer's appearance reflected his reputation. He had blue-green skin, while official records describe him as both male and female. Archaeologists themselves remain uncertain about what role Wadj-wer held in ancient Egypt, beyond that of a fertility god. Circumstantial evidence does point to him as an embodiment of the Mediterranean Sea, which would explain his unusual coloring.
Wall art dating back to the Old Kingdom also seems to associate him with the Nile god Hapi. This could also point to Wadj-wer embodying not the Mediterranean Sea, but the Nile Delta. Study into Wadj-wer's theology continues today, but proceeds slowly because of limited mentions of the god.
Wadjet
Before the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, Wadjet served as the protector goddess of Lower Egypt. After ancient Egypt's unification under Pharaoh Narmer, she became the guardian of Egypt against attacks from the north. Her role as a protector goddess also extended to the Pharaoh, which she shared with Menhit.
In particular, both goddesses shared the cobra on the Pharaoh's crown. This protective role comes from the myth where she protected the infant Horus from his uncle Set's attempt to kill him. This also made Wadjet a popular goddess among mothers in ancient Egypt, who would pray to her to protect their children from harm.
Wosret
A mystery and a paradox in one, Wosret is an important god, considering her name means "powerful". She also served as a patron goddess of Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdoms. Ironically, archaeologists have found no temples dedicated to Wosret.
Circumstantial evidence points to her as just another aspect of Amunet, especially since she too supposedly married Amun-Ra. That said, records do exist of her as a separate goddess in her own right, with three Pharaohs of the Twelfth Dynasty having the name of Senusret in her honor. Archaeologists continue to study this mystery to this day.

Genetics and risk profiling in insurance - what and why
Sponsored by Finlaysons Lawyers
Advances in medicine have meant that the health industry continues to capture more data relative to each individual patient. This occurs in the realm of screening, prevention and treatment. Genetic testing now plays an important role in clinical medicine. It assists in identifying risk on a per patient basis.
Historically insurers assessed risk actuarially across a broad spectrum of factors. Information from genetic testing enable insurers to tailor their risk assessment on a far more indvidualised basis. What are the legal issues that surround the capture and use of this type of information? To what extent do insureds have to disclose information of this nature? How far will it go?
These issues will be explored and discussed in this presentation.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore: From the rise in class actions to the fall-out from Royal Commissions - the impact of litigation trends on insurance claims
The litigation landscape in Australia is changing. Tort reform over the last decade targeted routine crash and bash, slip and fall and workers compensation claims. The insurance industry adapted to those reforms.

"Changing Landscapes: Can bottom end torts effect the Top End?"
Both the legal and insurance industry are dynamic and reactionary to change. The emerging information age has disrupted the way that traditional services are offered changing the risk liability of businesses and people engaged in the provision of such services. Similarly the ability to gather information has changed the way that insurance is being offered, risks are being evaluated and policies are being written.

Causation - Your Questions Answered
The mechanism of injury can appear to be very simplistic – a motor vehicle accident, a fall from a great height. By re-creating the details of an injury, surgeons learn how to repair the injury. As such, having a detailed understanding of the mechanism of an injury is part of the treatment of an orthopaedic patient. Dr Coll will explain to you the various injuries and their common mechanisms of injuries. If you have any sample patients, she can explain how their injuries occurred.

Challenge Accepted - Covering the Territory for Insurers
Provision of services to remote and rural areas has always been a challenge. For insurers, the cost of assessing claims outside Darwin has traditionally been expensive and options limited. In 2014, eReports tackled the issue with Nexus.
From simple beginnings with the first psychiatric appointment in Darwin and the specialist in Melbourne, the Nexus network was established with a growing network of clinics across Australia, direct connection from the specialist's portal to a seamless experience for the examinee. International appointments commenced as did an expansion of the specialties available through the Nexus network.
This session will share learned experiences over 5 years and over 5000 assessments.

Why this new Bali beach house is a design lover's utopia
by Melissa Hoyer
It's Seminyak's only beachfront villa and has been designed with sustainability in mind. Words by Melissa Hoyer, photos by Marko Randelovic.
A breathtaking private sanctuary in Bali by the name of NoKu Beach House is now open. The name NoKu is a cheeky take on Soho and comes from 'North of Kuta' in Seminyak, offering privacy and sweeping Indian Ocean views, as the only beach front villa in Seminyak.
Here, you'll find wellness activities – think massages, spa treatments and beach yoga – great locally sourced food offerings, enticing tropical drinks and beautifully curated accommodation.
It has taken two years to realise this dream space – but this is just the first in a series of bespoke NoKu-house projects to be design-directed by global award-winning interior design director Alex Zabotto-Bentley and his interior design and interior architecture team at AZBcreative.
NoKu Beach House is a six-bedroom statement of avant-garde zen design, with a cool and calm aesthetic. The result is a super-premium escape pad, designed without compromise. Asweeping resort space with six double bedrooms, two pools, extended gigantic living and dining areas, all showcasing a dedication to small-run makers, local craftsmen and the culture of regional villages.
"I was privileged to work with a client who trusted me to take their wishes and inspirations and turn them into something unique," says Alex.
In turn, the owner has described Alex's work as creating it's own design language; "Any one in any medium that does something that is truly their own, transcends the box … Alex Zabotto-Bentley has done just that."
Up-cycling and renewable resources were key in creating NoKu Beach House, and Alex's personal philosophy of follows the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, where ancient broken pottery is repaired with gold, creating a more beautiful object.
A case in point: the team sourced a 150 year old ironwood pier from Borneo, worn by the sea, which was going to be demolished, and converted into an incredible two level balé, with private siting areas and a custom-built bar.
Alex and his team also has a commitment to low-impact development, sustainable design practices and community empowerment through transparent supply chains, where growers, makers, producers and artisans are all supported within the project.
Alex says, "This is the future of development and design in Bali – the only way that it can be something which improves and strengthens the local community and culture."
With state-of-the art kitchens, two large swimming pools (one infinity, one plunge), event spaces for up to 300 people, 5 different dining areas and 25 staff including chef, concierge and driver, the NoKu Beach House is a very special destination villa. The aim was to create a luxurious experience with the relaxed atmosphere of this natural paradise.
Inside, the team blended modernism with a touch of brutalism and luxe nomad collectibles, from the pedestals crafted from 20 million year old petrified wood blocks to the Papua New Guinea drums re-purposed as side tables. The seamless blend of antique artifacts, rough-hewn textures and modern innovations evokes the rich cultural heritage of the region while remaining serene and timeless.
The designers re-purposed antique village drums into coffee tables, created hand woven silk fabric from villages in Kintamani, and hand carved teak panels into textured bed heads.
Natural light infuses the space, as unnecessary walls were removed, replaced with natural screens of hanging greenery and locally made eight metre long teak screens carved in geometric shapes, to add texture and dappled light. Throughout the house and gardens, there are around 30,000 plants, creating a unique green hideaway. Even by night, the lighting features set a relaxed mood.
The team installed new collection AZBcustom lighting designs from the 1960's brutalist Italian-inspired solid bronze fittings in the living and dining rooms, through to every single bedside lamp and outdoor lighting.
And, from the custom NoKu surfboards, tennis rackets and soccer balls to the plates and even the in-house radio station with curated playlists, there are many fun reminders of place scattered througout the beach house.
Stroll though the almost Jurassic gardens with a waterfall and towering palms and jungle blooms, or gaze out to sea from your room with organic dishes and endless chilled drinks – something even non-design-oriented guests will certainly appreciate too.
Melissa was a guest of NoKu Beach House.

The latest game to be called femdom: Ballbusting Stories.
https://t.co/ZVbvfQwq4H pic.twitter.com/dvxwQ0qbVb — Financial Post (@FP) August 27, 2018 The latest video game to have femdom elements is Ballbuster Stories, which is being developed by The New York Times and The Game Factory.
The video game is an interactive experience where players attempt to break the world record for most balls in a row, while also dealing with other players.
The title refers to a game where players are able to get a head-butt into another player's head, while another player can throw balls in their direction, breaking the world Record.
It is being described as a 'classic game of two halves'.
In the video, the player who throws the ball first gets the head-first head-to-head with the opponent, while the other gets the same as the first, but the opponent gets a headbutt.
It also features two other modes.
The first mode, where the player throws a ball with one hand while keeping the other hand on the ground, involves rolling into the other player's balls and rolling back out.
The second mode, which has players jumping around the stage, involves throwing balls into the air and then sliding them to the other players feet, while keeping one hand on their ground.
While the first two modes are in a different format, both of them are similar in that they involve rolling into balls and then rolling back.
The new game is being made by The Game Lab and is being released as a new digital download this month.
This is a new game for the Times Digital Network.
The New Yorker says the game is intended for ages 10 and up, which was previously the minimum age for video games.
The game is scheduled to release this summer, but its release date is not yet known.
Ballbusters Stories is the latest in a long line of games that have featured female characters in the form of emasculation, bondage, and other sexual play.
Femdom stories are more commonly known as 'femtials', as the word 'fems' is used to describe a woman's body.
Femtials, or 'feline femtials' as they are sometimes called, are a popular form of erotic play in which a woman takes on a cat-like persona in order to achieve physical dominance and sexual satisfaction.
The Times says Ballbusters Stories will feature a female player who is not a cat.
It will also feature a cat who can help players control their balls in various ways.
'The first game is a classic game of 2 halves.
The other one is a game that's not just for kids.
We want it to be accessible for everyone.
The fun comes from the fact that the characters aren't just cat-girls, they're people,' the New York magazine wrote in a statement.
'There's a whole spectrum of experience and sexuality in these stories, and we want to show that they're there for all ages, whether you're a fan of catgirl games or a casual cat lover, we want you to discover Ballbruises stories with the same enthusiasm you'll see them on the big screen.'
The game will be available as a free download on July 8 for iPhone and iPad, and will cost $19.99.

Proposed Field of ISO Technical Activity to Focus on the Remanufacturing of Mechanical Products
The Standardization Administration of China (SAC), the Chinese member body to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), has submitted a proposal for a new field of technical activity on the remanufacturing of mechanical products. As the U.S. member body to ISO, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) invites all interested stakeholders to submit comments on the proposal by Friday, June 14, 2013.
According to the proposal, the technical activity would focus on work related to standardization involving the remanufacturing of mechanical products, including basic standards, terminology, general technical requirements, and related specifications, and the evaluation of existing remanufacturing standards, among other work. While some standards related to the remanufacturing of mechanical products have been developed by ISO and by standards developing organizations based in some of its member nations, ISO does not currently have a dedicated group focused on the activity.
All comments on this proposal should be sent to Steven Cornish, ANSI senior director for international policy (isot@ansi.org). Feedback received by the June 14 deadline will be reviewed and compiled for the recommended ANSI position and comment, which will then be presented to the ANSI ISO Council for formal approval.
The full proposal filed by SAC is available here.
ANSI has published an explanatory information document outlining the process used to develop U.S. positions on issues and activities under consideration by ISO and IEC. Click here to download the document.

Santalum album or Indian sandalwood is a small tropical tree, the most commonly known source of sandalwood. This species has been utilised, cultivated and traded for many years, some cultures placing great significance on its fragrant and medicinal qualities. For these reasons it has been extensively exploited, to the point where the wild population is vulnerable to extinction. It still commands high prices for its essential oil, but due to lack of sizable trees it is no longer used for fine woodworking as before. The plant is widely cultivated and long lived, although harvest is viable after 40 years.
The height of the evergreen tree is between 4 and 9 metres. They may live to one hundred years of age. The tree is variable in habit, usually upright to sprawling, and may intertwine with other species. The plant parasitizes the roots of other tree species, with a  haustorium adaptation on its own roots, but without major detriment to its hosts. An individual will form a non-obligate relationship with a number of other plants.
The use of sandal in India is noted in literature for over two thousand years. It has use as wood and oil in religious practices. It also features as a construction material in temples and elsewhere. The Indian government has banned the export of the species to reduce the threat by over-harvesting. In the southern Indian state of Karnataka, all trees of greater than a specified girth are the property of the state. Cutting of trees, even on private property, is regulated by the Forest Department. The infamous forest bandit Veerappan was involved in the illegal felling of sandalwood trees from forests.
