1.  Horemakhet ("Horus at the Horizon", meaning the sun) was a symbol of resurrection, linked to the setting sun, which was reborn every morning. He was also a manifestation of the god Re-Horakhte (see this god) and connected to the very old gods Kheper and Atum. He first appeared during the New Kingdom. He was identified with the Great Sphinx at Giza, where he also was venerated in a temple of his own (possibly the only of its kind in Egypt). His very "own" shape was a sphinx (as seen in the picture above). His was very popular during the dynasties 18-19 and called upon as "the good father".\n\n\n2.  Anubis (in Greek) was an old god who took care of the cemeteries and from c. dynasty five considered to be the son of the solar god Re.\nLater he was connected to the vast Osiris cult and became his son with the goddess Nephtys.\n(See the Myth of Osiris). Depicted as a jackal or a man with a jackal's head, he was originally a god from Abydos in Upper Egypt. He guided the deceased to the next life via the court of Osiris in the Underworld. He was the one who took care of embalmings and was the subject of the mortuary prayers in funerals. His fame was constantly on top during all periods of the long Egyptian history. \n\n\n3.  Osiris (in Greek) was king of the Underworld and originally a god of agriculture and nature. His origin is disputed and he first appeared during dynasty five. In Heliopolis he was said to be son of Re and he represented the dead king. Minor gods were taken into his vast cult and many legends were told about him. The common Myth of Osiris is about his death (murdered by his brother Set) and resurrection. He was the chief judge in the court at the threshold to the next life, where all the dead citizens were trying to come through to Paradise. He always wore a mummy-dress and was brother to Isis, Hor (Horus the elder), Set and Nephthys. His parents were Geb and Nut.\n\n\n4.  Aah (like "awe"), was an old moon god in charge of the moon-year (12x30 days). Besides "moon" his name meant "collar", "to embrace" and "defender".\nHis duties were shadowy and he was seen as a moon crescent often with sun disk upon it (two pictures left). He accompanied mainly Thot and Khons, but also others. Rarely he was upon the head of a sitting Osiris with whom he was known in texts as Osiris-Aah. He could be seen as Thoth-Aah with a crescent upon a pedestal standing in a boat (picture above). He took part in "The Book of the Dead" where he was quoted in a prayer presenting himself by saying: "I am the moon-god Aah, the dweller among the gods". His most famous roll in Egyptian mythology was in a tale where he gambled with Thoth and made him help the pair Nut and Geb to raise a family. \n\n\n5.  Nehebkau was a serpent god who participated in the creation of the world when he swam around the solar bark of Re in the watery chaos.\nAll Egyptians (dead and alive) were protected by him, especially from sickness through snake bites. Thus ordinary people used him in magic spells and had his festival in the fifth month, just when the cultivating of the soil had begun. His looks were of a snake with legs (picture right) sometimes with wings and two heads, or a man with a snake's head and Atef-crown (left). His name meant "He Who Unites the Kas" and he put together the double (Ka) from the dead with those of animals, plants and even stones to a multi-natural form. He had no official cult but was mentioned in "The Book of the Dead" and could be seen holding containers, making food offerings to the deceased. From the very start he was connected to Re.

You should rent the movie "Stargate" if you haven't already.  They have an interesting point about the pronunciation of ancient Egyptian.  Anyway, I think you are going in the right direction.  I think Chritianity stemmed from Osirus and Isis.  Also remember that one pharoah who caused a ruckus by claiming there was only one god, instead of multiple gods.  He was one of the first monotheists.  Wasn't he Amun-Ra?  Start your religion. Good luck.

There is no concrete proof.  It may be that the Egyptians deified a wise individual, because they did deify a certain Imhotep, the architect of the Great Pyramids (we have records of him), but that is sheer speculation.  Most Egyptian gods were based on the forces of nature, and Thoth was originally the moon god.

The Sumerians practised a polytheistic system similar to that of the Greeks with gods and goddesses representing various forces. \n\nAmong the major gods were:\n\n* An, the god of heaven;\n\n* Enlil, the god of air and storms;\n\n* Enki, the god of water and Earth;\n\n* Ki, god of earth;\n\n* Ninlil, goddess of creation; and\n\n* Inanna, the god of love and war.\n\nEach Sumerian city had a patron god. Ur created a ziggurat for Nanna, the God of the moon.

The Egyptian deities could be many places at once.  They are portrayed as having once lived on earth before eventually ceding their direct rule to a line of human kings.\nTexts like the Am Duat "That Which is in the Underworld" from the New Kingdom, which are part of a larger tradition of religious texts like the Book of the Dead tell of the gods holding court in the underworld.\nHowever, Egyptian temples were also perceived by the Egyptians as houses for the various deities.  Statues were kept in the temples, they were bathed, dressed, had makeup applied to them and were "fed" daily by the priests and taken out on "visits" to other deities or to be paraded during various festivals.\nStatues in a broad sense in ancient Egypt were thought to be able to hold the soul or part of the soul of people and gods in order to receive offerings or to interact in some way with the living world.\nThere also seems to have been a belief that statues of various deities had healing powers as there are accounts of Egyptian deity statues being sent to other Near Eastern kings when those kings fell ill.
