Image Title: Ancient Egyptian Deities

Description: Illustrations of ancient Egyptian gods. Clockwise from top left: In a parallel with Puzza, the Chinese mother goddess, Isis sits in a lotus flower; a representation of Isis and Osiris with the lotus flower on the head of a serpent; Isis holders her son, Horus; and Isis with the head of a cow holds Horus. The parallels between Egyptian deities and Chinese deities led Athanasius Kircher to believe that there is one god who took many forms. Drawn by Bernard Picart (1673–1733).
