Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I appear as a jackal or jackal headed.

Answer: Anubis

Anubis was the god of cemeteries and embalming. You would also see the people that prepare the king or queen for burial wearing a jackal mask to associate themselves with Anubis.
2. I am a man with a pointed beard and a horned helmet, holding a cedar tree, club or spear.

Answer: Baal

Originating from Syria, Baal was a god of storms and sky.
3. I am frog headed or a man holding a notched palm-rib.

Answer: Heh

Heh was the god of formlessness, flood force and infinity. The crown that he wore was a palm branch that had notches in it. The palm-rib is also the hieroglyphic symbol for year.
4. I am a woman with a throne headdress.

Answer: Isis

Isis was the goddess of magic and was also the mother of the king. Isis would often be seen as the "Great White Sow" or the "Isis-cow". Because of Isis, they had the Apis bull.
5. I am seen as a scarab beetle or a man with a scarab beetle for a head.

Answer: Khepri

Khepri means "He who is coming into being". He was a creator and solar deity. The Egyptians thought that the scarab beetle was capable of spontaneous creation as the baby beetles were seen emerging from the dung. This is why he appeared in this form.
6. I am a woman with a single feather headdress.

Answer: Ma'at

Ma'at was the goddess of order, truth and justice. The books that I am reading at the moment are based on the reign of Ramesses II and a lot of the crimes in these novels are tried by the rule of Ma'at.
7. I am a god that appears as a man with erect phallis and double plumed headdress.

Answer: Min

Min was a god of fertility and mining regions in the Eastern desert. On the odd occasion he was described as the son of Isis, but some believe that he was her consort and their son was Horus.
8. I am a woman with a headdress of a basket and enclosure.

Answer: Nephthys

Nephthys was the mother of Anubis. She was the sister of Isis, Osiris and Seth. She also helped Isis put Osiris' body back together after it was dismembered by Seth.
9. I am a semi-mummified man with skull cap and was-djed-ankh sceptre.

Answer: Ptah

Ptah was the chief creator god. He would watch over and guard the craftsmen at the village of Deir el-Medina, which was the craftsmen's village responsible for the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
10. I am seen as a naked lady standing on a lion.

Answer: Qadesh

Qadesh was the goddess of ecstasy and sexual pleasure. She was not an Egyptian, but was still classified as an Egyptian Goddess.
11. I am seen as a lioness or lioness headed.

Answer: Sekhmet

Sekhmet was the goddess of healing and was the daughter of Re. She was also associated with war and battle and helped the king to defeat his enemies with the use of her power through the king himself. Her name means "the powerful one". When Ramesses II was at war with the Hittites, he summoned this goddess to fill him with her power so he could defeat them. It worked too.
12. I am a unidentified quadruped.

Answer: Seth

Seth was the god of chaos, infertility, desert and storm. Seth was the one that killed his brother Osiris and tore him to pieces.
13. I am seen as a baboon, an ibis or ibis headed.

Answer: Thoth

Thoth was the god of wisdom and the scribal profession. He was the one responsible for recording important events such as the "Weighing of the Heart".
14. I am seen as either a cobra or a lioness.

Answer: Wadjet

Wadjet was the goddess of Lower Egypt. She protected the king alongside Nekhbet. In a previous quiz of mine I asked how many names the king was given, of these five names one of them was his "nebty" or "two ladies" name referring to these two goddesses. The Wadjet Eye and the Eye of Horus are also the same.
15. I am a man with a goose on my head or a red crown.

Answer: Geb

Geb was a god of fertility and was the divine personification of the earth. He was seen reclining beneath the arched body of Nut. His daughter was Isis. It was also said that when there was an earthquake it was actually Geb laughing.
