Ancient Egyptians venerated over 700 gods. The most important gods included Ra, the sun god; Amun, the supreme creator in Thebes who was later combined with Ra to become Amun-Ra; Mut, Amun's wife and goddess of heaven; and Osiris, god of resurrection, the Nile, and fertility who was murdered by his brother Seth. Other major gods were Isis, Osiris' wife and sister who was goddess of magic; Anubis, god of embalming and leading souls to the afterlife with a jackal's head; and Horus, son of Isis and Osiris who was represented as a hawk and linked to pharaohs.
