Gods and Goddesses Some images of ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses show them as if they were humans. Ptah of Memphis, for example, is usually shown as a man wrapped im mummy clothes, his hands outside the wrappings, grasping scepters.

Egyptian gods can also appear in purely animal form, as Horus can be shown as a hawk.
