Anthropomorphism is applying anything human (personality or traits) to something that is not human. Every religion does this, including Cristian in the phrase "God's mercy" or "God's wrath" as mercy and wrath are human traits.
Anthropomorphism, or personification, is attribution of human form or other characteristics to anything other than a human being. This is done in most - if not all- religions and is not unique to Egyptian gods or goddesses.
Entities are sometimes called gods because they they are often difficult to describe in anthropomorphic terms.
Anthropotheism is a word that is used to ascribe human form and nature to gods, or the belief that the gods are only deified human beings. Many instances of Anthropomorphic Deity are seen in the actions of the gods. For instance, the ideal that the gods have wives, husbands, deceit, tragedy, and etc are anthropomorphic by definition. In terms of physical anthropomorphism the deities of the Egyptian culture would always have the bodies of man but heads of animals. Quite often anthropomorphic traits have been seen across most polytheistic mythologies (greek, roman, norse, native american, etc...). While the Egyptian gods are not fully defined by anthropomorphism, there is also a heirarchy by which they ascribe themselves. For instance, Osiris being a diety higher in the rank than Anubis, or Ra being more powerful than Osiris. These create a tier management system for the gods. Even the outline of the Ennead (the nine) looks like this in terms of godly heirarchy... ..........................................RA (Atum)............................................... ............................................./.....\.................................................... ........................................Shu==Tefnut............................................. ......................................../.............\................................................. ....................................Nut======Geb........................................... ..................................../........|.......|......\........................................... .............................Osiris.....Isis...Set...Nephthys............................... .........................................................................................................

Anthropomorphic gods are deities that are depicted in human form or possess human characteristics such as emotions, personalities, and behaviors. This portrayal helps humans better relate to and understand these gods in various mythologies and religious beliefs.
