Frequently asked questions
What is this family tree based on?
The Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts and temple theologies of different cities. Egyptian religion varied by place and era, so notes flag where traditions differ.
Why do gods have overlapping roles?
Syncretism: cities merged gods over three millennia — Ra with Amun, Hathor with Sekhmet. Overlap is the history, not an error in the chart.
Who are Anubis's parents?
Most accounts name Osiris and Nephthys; some name Ra or Set. The tree follows the common account and notes the variants.
Where are the famous mortals — Cleopatra, the pharaohs?
Nowhere here: this is the divine genealogy. Mortal history belongs to a different shelf.
