The Ancient Egyptians had around 8700 gods in total.

It may be hard to believe but they really did!

over a thousand gods it's hard to name them all

There are approximately 64 Egyptian Gods. These include Osiris, Amun, Re(Ra) AND Nephthys. They all play a vital role in Ancient Egyptian life.Actually by the time the xtains/coptics had come along in the mid 400's there was record of over 2000 deities worshipped in ancient Egypt.

Almost every village in Egypt had it's own gods. Every time a new Pharaoh came into power the whole culture recognised his gods as the best so they were always changing.

Actually there are 115 or 114 on all the other sites that's what it said it was. there was no more.

Their are well over 800 Egyptian gods because the ancient Egyptians had a god for almost everything

There were hundreds of gods and goddesses.

There were gods for everything like cats, home, pregenent woman, etc.

Some gods included Anubis, Thoth, Isis, Bes, Hathor, Osiris, Ra, etc.

Up to 2000 gods and spirits were counted in Egyptian mythology

Over two thousand, I believe. However, unlike Ra (sun god), not all were known through the whole country-- many were only local.

As well as being localised many gods were known by different names as well.

It would be hard to say exactly how many they had, but there would have been well over a hundred gods. Actually there would have been thousands of gods that they believed in and it is pretty hard to name all of them.

According to a good book I have on the subject, there are approximately 2000 gods, goddesses or deities of ancient Egypt known to us by name today. However, most of these were just very minor deities worshipped only in particular places for short amounts of time. Bear in mind, many of them were similar, eg. many with the same animal head or basic depiction. Eg, not all falcons are Horus.
due to new finds, translation issues and the fact that the egyptian culture evolved many times over its reign as well as incorporated many nearby cultures the exact number is unknown. the last offical count had it at 8700
