“For the Egyptians deities were not all of equal rank. In iconography important gods were often singled out by being enthroned and holding the attributes of “life” and “power” in their hands, in contrast with the mass of other divine beings. According to the texts there are “great” (wrw) and “small” (nḏsw) gods…the demotic instruction text of Insinger papyrus…warns against despising a small god since he too has power.”
