What did the Egyptian god ptah look like?

On of the most important ones was Re (often written Ra) the god of the sun, he often has a falcon head and in many creation myths he is credited with being the father of the following 8 who together make up what is called the Great Ennead which is just fancy name for the nine most important gods. The remaining 8 are Geb the god of the earth and his sister Nut goddess of the sky, Shu and Tefnut the god and goddess of the air and moisture, Seth and Nepthys who are brother and sister, Seth often being seen as the Egyptian devil figure and Isisgoddess of love and wife and sister of Osiris who was god of the underworld and judge of the dead. They are almost always shown as human in form and Osiris is often green, the colour of rebirth and is shown in the form of a mummy. Nut is also easy to spot because she is often shown stretche out over the earth forming the sky. Several of these are not that well known but were important in Egyptian times. Some of the other well know ones are Bastthe cat headed goddess often associated with the home and children Thoth who is the ibis headed god of wisdom and writing Anubis the jackal headed god of mummification and Amun Ra the most important god of the New Kingdom. He is sometimes shown with ram horns. Of course there are many many more and the myths about them changed over time so it can all get very confusing.

Why did osiris marry his sister isis?

For Egyptian gods and goddesses, at least Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys, it is sort of like reincarnation but not. So, originally Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys were all brother and sister but then later on the story was told differently with Osiris and Set still being brothers and Osiris being married to Isis and Horus being their son while Set and Nepthys were married.
