Best Answer

Egyptian myths were metaphorical stories intended to illustrate and explain the gods' actions and roles in nature. The details of the events they recounted could change as long as they conveyed the same symbolic meaning, so many myths exist in different and conflicting versions. Among the most important Egyptian myths were the creation myths.

Egyptian mythology, like all mythologies, was a series of deities and stories that people invented and altered throughout their era as a means to explain the natural functions of the world. The deities were generally ranked on importance depending on the bit of nature they controlled. For example, the sun ruled most of their lives, it fed their crops and dried the clay used for making bricks or pottery. It was important, so Ra, the sun god, was given a place as the king of the Gods.
