Egyptian mythology is the collection of myths from ancient Egypt
which describe the actions of the Egyptian gods as a means of
understanding the world. The beliefs that these myths express are
an important part of ancient Egyptian religion. Myths appear
frequently in Egyptian writings and art particularly in short
stories and in religious material such as hymns ritual texts
funerary texts and temple decoration. These sources rarely contain
a complete account of a myth and often describe only brief
fragments.
Like myths in many other cultures Egyptian myths serve to justify human traditions and to address fundamental questions about the world such as the nature of disorder and the ultimate fate of the universe. The Egyptians explained these profound issues through statements about the gods.
Egyptian deities represent natural phenomena from physical objects like the earth or the sun to abstract forces like knowledge and creativity. The actions and interactions of the gods the Egyptians believed govern the behavior of all of these forces and elements. For the most part the Egyptians did not describe these mysterious processes in explicit theological writings. Instead the relationships and interactions of the gods illustrated such processes implicitly.
Most of Egypt's gods including many of the major ones do not have significant roles in mythic narratives although their nature and relationships with other deities are often established in lists or bare statements without narration. For the gods who are deeply involved in narratives mythic events are very important expressions of their roles in the cosmos. Therefore if only narratives are myths mythology is a major element in Egyptian religious understanding but not as essential as it is in many other cultures.
