You're on a roll Craig:
Six correct, and the other answer (Horus for 27) would be correct if you lined it up correctly so just 0.5 for that one at the moment.

Can give you all four, Lord Cheeky, although I'm slightly dubious that your answer to the last one Uadjet or Wadjet is the same as the correct answer Renenutet. However both have snake heads and are mother goddesses so I won't argue.
QUIZ COMPLETE. It finished: 1. CraigC 8pts 2. Lord Cheeky 4pts
