Here's a bit of fun.
A picture plus a brief description to help interpret the hieroglyphic.
All you have to do is identify the name of the Egyptian god.
First lot of 12 (there will be 36 in all).
1
Jackal-god of mummification and a god of the netherworld.
2
Guarded the lungs of the dead.
3
Egyptian fish goddess. She was worshipped in the Nile Delta, especially at Mendes
4
Sister and wife of Osiris. The last sign of her name, as shown here, is actually the sign for Hathor. Often is shown with that crown, too (with cows horns around a sun). Often shown with her throne (the first symbol of her name) on her head. Goddess of magic.
5
Ram-headed god, who created human beings.
6
Goddess of order, truth and justice.
7
Goddess of war & weaving.
8
Goddess of the sky.
9
The sun god and creator of the universe.
10
Scorpion goddess of magic.
11
Lion-headed Goddess of moisture & rain.
12
Usher of the dead.
1pt for each. Good luck !
