Best Answer

No exact count of ancient gods is possible because each city or culture in ancient times recognized multiple deities, some associated with a particular spring, well, hill or tree. In addition, as cultures migrated, merged, or were conquered, certain deities came to be more widely followed and were sometimes recognized as the same deity but known by different names in different places. On the other hand, a modern Christian, Jew or Muslim would say that there never was more than one god, all the others being either fictional misunderstandings by primitive peoples or shadowy manifestations of the one.
