For the Egyptian Deity Project you are required to use multiple sources in your research of your group's god or goddess. This includes both text-based (yes, you have to use a book) and internet resources. Below you will find some helpful websites to guide your research and information gathering for both your presentation and cut-out.
http://www.egyptianmyths.net/section-deities.htm - Some images with brief background info.
http://touregypt.net/godsofegypt/ - Other names, patron of (god of), appearance, description
http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/gods/explore/main.html - Good images, but little text
http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/egypt/index.htm- Good images and basic text

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/gods_gallery.shtml - BBC History page with brief overview of a select number of gods
http://www.aelives.com/gods.htm - LOTS of images, takes time to download

***REMEMBER: When looking for features (what the deity looks like) and responsibilities for your cut-out and research notes, remember to check multiple sources to verify the accuracy of your information. DO NOT just use the first image you find!
These websites are clearly only a small sampling of the websites available to you, but they have proven to be successful for students in terms of the ease of access to accurate information. BUT, don't just trust one of them...use many of them to verify the information!
