= = **__ Gods and Goddesses __**  There were a number of major gods who were apart of the official religion that was organised by the pharaoh and his head priest. They were worshipped all over Egypt and their stories helped to support the control of the pharaoh. Normal people did join in the festivals of the major gods. However, on a day to day basis, they worshipped the gods who were important for their particular family. These could be: ** · ** **Gods who looked after the career of the family ** ·  ** Gods of their religion ** 
 * __ Ancient Egyptian Gods __**
 * Religion is a very significant part of __all__ Egyptians lives. Their theory was that the world and the universe were ruled by hundreds of different gods and goddesses. To the Egyptians each god represented a different part of life. Each god was related but some were more essential than others.
 * · ** **Gods who were traditionally related with the family
 * The state gods were also worshipped all over Egypt and their temples were overseen by certain groups of people because of their special responsibilities, the region they came from, their family’s traditions or the job that they held. **
