Amen was the patron deity of the city of Thebes from earliest times, and was viewed (along with his consort Amenet) as a primordial creation-deity by the priests of Hermopolis. His sacred animals were the goose and the ram. \n\nUp to the Middle Kingdom Amen was merely a local god in Thebes; but when the Thebans had established their sovereignty in Egypt, Amen became a prominent deity, and by Dynasty XVIII was termed the King of the Gods. His famous temple, Karnak, is the largest religious structure ever built by man. According to Budge, Amen by Dynasty XIX-XX was thought of as "an invisible creative power which was the source of all life in heaven, and on the earth, and in the great deep, and in the Underworld, and which made itself manifest under the form of Ra." Additionally, Amen appears to have been the protector of any pious devotee in need. \n\nAmen was self-created, according to later traditions; according to the older Theban traditions, Amen was created by Thoth as one of the eight primordial deities of creation (Amen, Amenet, Heq, Heqet, Nun, Naunet, Kau, Kauket). \n\nDuring the New Kingdom, Amen's consort was Mut, "Mother," who seems to have been the Egyptian equivalent of the "Great Mother" archetype. The two thus formed a pair reminiscent of the God and Goddess of other traditions such as Wicca. Their child was the moon god Khons.\n\nAnubis\n(Anpu) \n\nEgyptian god of the dead, represented as a black jackal or dog, or as a man with the head of a dog or jackal. His parents were usually given as Re in combination with either Nephthys or Isis. After the early period of the Old Kingdom, he was superseded by Osiris as god of the dead, being relegated to a supporting role as a god of the funeral cult and of the care of the dead. The black colour represented the colour of human corpses after they had undergone the embalming process. In the Book of the Dead, he was depicted as presiding over the weighing of the heart of the deceased in the Hall of the Two Truths. In his role as psychopomp he was referred to as the "conductor of souls". The Greeks later identified him with their god Hermes, resulting in the composite deity Hermanubis. His principal sanctuary was at the necropolis in Memphis and in other cities. Anubis was also known as Khenty- Imentiu - "chief of the westerners" - a reference to the Egyptian belief that the realm of the dead lay to the west in association with the setting sun, and to their custom of building cemeteries on the west bank of the Nile. \n\nBast\n(Bastet, Ubasti) \n\nEgyptian cat goddess. A goddess of the home and of the domestic cat, although she sometimes took on the war-like aspect of a lioness. Daughter of the sun god Re, although sometimes regarded as the daughter of Amun. Wife

They sent them to Godhood.  think pyramids, big statues, mummies.  Those were memorials.  Often pharoahs were buried with a host of servants to serve them in the after life.

It depends what you mean. If you mean when did people start to worship a God or Goddess, then evidence of early pagan religions have been found in cave paintings! So a long long long time ago\n\nEDIT: Just thought if you mean when did organised religion start, I know that Egyptian civilization can be traced back as far as 5000 bc ish, I think that when the very early form of their religion came into being. Not sure if theres any that are older.

Yes - all of them. I prefer to call them "deities," though, so as not imply the exclusion of the female, androgyny and sexless gods as well.

No. You heard incorrectly. The deities of Egypt were left in Egypt when the Isrealites left their slavery behind (mostly, they backslid at least once).\n\nThe God, known as "YHWH" or "I AM" to the Isrealites, is known by many names. "EL" simply means "GOD". The Isrealites get their tribal name from one of their forfathers: Isreal.\n\nLong story made short:\n\nAbram the Aramean: Left home country to become a nomadic shepherd.  Name changed to Abraham by God. "Abram" means "father of a multitude", Abraham means "father of many nations".   Had  9  sons:  Ishmael  (by his concubine Hagar) the firstborn, Isaac (by his wife Sarah) the promised son and later heir, and by his 2nd wife Keturah, Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Hagar and Keturah were given gifts and sent away from their father, Isaac recieved the bulk of the inheiritance.\n\nIsaac married once: Rebekkah. They had twin boys: Esau and Jacob. Although he was second born, Jacob recieved the blessing of the firstborn by tricking his blind father. He had to split town: Esau was upset enough to kill him!    \n\nJacob went back to Aram. He married his distant cousins, Leah and Rachel, and later, their maids became his concubines (effectively 4 wives). These 4 women collectively bore 13 children: 12 sons and one daughter.\n\nAfter more than 20  years absence, Jacob decided to leave Aram and go home. Terrified of his ticked-off brother, he spends the last night away from his family, so his brother can come after him and spare his wives and children (if he wants to). While alone, an Angel attacks him, and they wrestle all night. At daybreak, the angel tries to get away, but Jacob pins it down and demands a blessing. The Angel replies by changing Jacob's name to ISRAEL, meaning  "Wrestles with God". The name, Isreal has applied to Jacob's decendents ever since.

The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten. \n\n \n\nAs stated earlier, certain gods were worshipped in different areas. Local cities or villages, known as nomes, often had unique gods that were known only to that region. On occasion, these gods attained country -wide recognition and became the myths and legends that were passed on from century to century. Below is a listing of the main gods and their primary place of worship. \n\nAmaunet - A female counterpart to Amon and one of the primordial gods of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad (group of eight gods). She was also worshipped at Thebes along with Amon and Mut. \n\nAmon - Usually associated with the wind, or things hidden, and was also of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad. At Thebes he became Amon-Re, king of the gods. He was part of the Theban Triad, along with Mut and Khonsu. \n\nAntaios - He was originally a double god, "the two falcons", that was later joined to create one, probably that of Horus. \n\nAnuket - Worshipped at Elephantine, she was associated with the gazelle. \n\nApis - Seen as the bull with a solar disk between its horns, Apis was associated with Osiris and Ptah. \n\nAton - Also known as Aten, he was worshipped at Tell 'Amarna. \n\nAtum - A primordial god that was represented in the form of a human and a serpent. He was the supreme god in the Heliopolitan Ennead (group of nine gods) and formed with Re to create Re-Atum. \n\nHathor - The goddess of love, dance and alcohol was depicted as a cow. At Thebes she was also the goddess of the dead. She was worshipped at Dendera as the consort of Horus and Edfu, and was associated with Isis at Byblos. \n\nHorus - The earliest royal god was the shape of a falcon, with the sun and moon as his eyes. The sky-god was the ruler of the day. The many forms of Horus are; Re-Harakhti, Harsiesis, Haroeris, Harendotes, Khenti-irti, Khentekhtay (the crocodile-god), and Harmakhis, which is Horus on the horizons, in which the Sphinx of Giza is considered to be his aspect. \n\nIsis - The mother of Horus and sister and consort of Osiris was worshipped at Philae. Associated with Astarte, Hathor, Nut and Sothis, she was later worshipped over the entire Roman Empire. \n\nKhnum - Resembling a human with a rams head, he was worshipped in Hypselis, Esna, Antinoe and Elephantine. \n\nKhonsu - the moon god was the son of Amon and Mut. The main temple at Karnak is dedicated to him. \n\nMin - God of fertility coalesced with Amon and Horus. Min was mainly worshipped at Coptos and Akhmim. \n\nMut - Worshipped at Thebes, she was a consort of Amon and part of the Theban Triad (group of three gods). \n\nNut - Mother of the sun, moon and heavenly bodies. \n\nOsiris - He is regarded as the dead king that watches over the nether world and is rejuvenated in his son Horus. As the symbol of eternal life he was worshipped at Abydos and Philae. \n\nPtah - Worshipped in Memphis, he coalesced with Sokaris and Osiris. \n\nRe - He was the sun god of Heliopolis. From the fifth Dynasty onwards he becomes a national god and is combined with the supreme deity Amon. \n\nSerapis - He was mainly worshipped in Alexandria and was later worshipped by the Greeks as Zeus. He was never fully accepted by the Egyptians in the Ptolemaic period. \n\nSekhmet - She was part of the Memphite Triad with Ptah and Nefertem. She was the mistress of war and sickness. \n\nSeth - The son of Geb and Nut in the Heliopolitan Ennead was in the for
