I was wondering about the names and history of the Egyptian Gods? Could anyone tell me more about it?

Amun and Ra were eventually combined into the chief god Amun-Ra.
Anubis (Anpu in Egyptian) was a god of the netherworld.
Aten was the visible disk of the sun, worshipped during the reign of Akhenaton.
Atum was god of the setting sun.
Bastet was the cat-headed goddess.
Geb was the earth god.
Hapi was the Nile god.
Hathor was the love goddess, sometimes represented as a cow.
Horus was two gods, Horus of the Two Horizons and Horus the son of Osiris, later combined into one god.
Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris. The last sign of her name, as shown here, is actually the sign for Hathor. Isis often is shown with that crown, too (with cows horns around a sun). Often Isis is shown with her throne (the first symbol of her name) on her head.
Kheperi was the rising sun.
Khnum was the ram-headed god, who created human beings.
Maat was the goddess of truth and justice.
Min was the god of fertility.
Mont was the war god.
Mut was Amun's wife.
Nut was the sky goddess.
Osiris was the king of the netherworld.
Ptah was the father of the gods.
Ra (Re) was the sun god and creator of the universe.
Ra-Harakhti was also called Harakhti or Horus of the two horizons
Seth was brother and killer of Osiris.
Shu was goddess of the sky.
Sobek was the crocodile god.
Tefnut or Tefenet was the lion-headed goddess.
Thoth (Djehuti in Egyptian) was the scribe of the gods.
Another goddess was Taueret, the hippopotamus goddess. A godlike creature was Ammit the devourer of souls (who devours the hearts of evil people), a combination of crocodile and other animals, who sat near the scales (on which the deceased's heart was weighed against Maat's feather of truth) in many Egyptian paintings and inscriptions. Bes was a dwarf god of late Egyptian times. And the Apis Bull was a sacred bull. There were many more gods and goddesses.

A number of gods (Ptah, Khnum, Atum, Ra, and others) were given credit for creating the universe, in conflicting stories from different cities. The Ennead (Greek for "group of nine") were Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys.

See Egyptian Clip Art: Gods & Goddesses, for some nice pictures of some of the gods and goddesses. It is brought to you by The Tomb of the Chihuahua Pharaohs.

A young lady sent me email complaining that, according to her sources, Kheperi was not the god of the rising sun. She didn't tell me what her sources were. From what I can gather from several sources, Kheperi was the god of the rising sun, Atum was the god of the setting sun, Harakhti (or Ra Harakhti) was the god of the two horizons. And all of these were aspects of the sun god Ra (Re). And, of course, Amun-Ra combined the two gods Amun (Amen) and Ra (Re) into one god.
