The history of Egyptian gods for all time of its existence has undergone a number of significant changes. Over time, the Egyptian gods became more and more like people, representatives of neighboring nationalities - the Hittites, the Hellenes.
Such a large number of different gods could only lead to strife and separatism of the country. In addition, such a wide distribution of various cults required a lot of money to conduct ritual ceremonies, which, with much greater benefit, could be spent on the development of the country and raising its army.
