Ancient Egypt\u27s pantheon

V vsakem panteonu so bogovi tisti, ki so ustvarili svet, in v tem pogledu egipčanski panteon ni izjema. Mitologija Starega Egipta je odraz zemljepisnih in naravnih razmer ter popolne odvisnosti dežele od dveh naravnih sil, ki sta ji omogočali življenje, reke Nil ter sonca. Spoštovanje narave so Egipčani dvignili na religiozno raven. V diplomskem delu je panteon Starega Egipta predstavljen tako, da tvori koherentno celoto. Najprej je podan zgodovinski pregled Starega Egipta od združitve pod prvim faraonom Menesom do rimskega zavzetja ter razvoj egipčanske religije od plemenskih fetišev do panteona. Sledi opis egipčanskega panteona in božanstev, ki so razdeljena v šest skupin: prvobitna božanstva, lunarna in sončna božanstva, božanstva plodnosti in družine, božanstva neba in voda, božanstva modrosti in pravice ter božanstva smrti in posmrtnega življenja. Na koncu je predstavljeno Ehnatonovo obdobje in njegova verska revolucija. Uporabljeni so viri in literatura s področja egipčanske zgodovine, mitologije ter podatki s spletnih strani.In every pantheon, gods are the ones who created the world and in this aspect Egyptian pantheon is no exception. The mythology of the Ancient Egypt is a reflection of geographical and natural conditions and absolute dependence of the country from two natural powers that enabled life – the Nile and the sun. The Egyptians raised the respect of the nature to the religious level. In this thesis, the Pantheon of the Ancient Egypt is represented in the way to form a coherent integrity. First, the historical overview of the Ancient Egypt, from the union under the first pharaoh Menes to Roman conquer, and development of Egyptian religion, from tribal fetishes to pantheon, is described. This is followed by the description of the Egyptian pantheon and deities, divided into six groups: primary deities, solar and lunar deities, fertility and family deities, water and sky deities, wisdom and justice deities, deities of death and deities of afterlife. At the end, the Akhenaten era and his religious revolution are represented. For this thesis sources and literature from the field of Egyptian history have been used along with data from websites
