	Buttloads of bonus answers for the Egyptian mythology nerds out there!

	If not for Stargate, I would've gotten one . . . rather than three.

	Matty:	May 13th, 2009 at 20:23 GMT	0 points
	What's wrong with Mut? She's one of the few I know, and wasn't even a bonus.

	23/29. Thank you, The Prince of Egypt!

	Why is Pakhet accepted for Sekhmet? Isn't she a synthesis of Bast and Sekhmet, or am I confounding things?

	geowiz85:	May 13th, 2009 at 21:20 GMT	2 points
	got 12 thanks to the research i did relating to the mythology in LOST

	BrettCaudill:	May 13th, 2009 at 21:49 GMT	3 points
	oh my god, that's a lot of gods!

	Reynaert:	May 13th, 2009 at 22:30 GMT	4 points
	all those months playing pharaoh did pay off.

	ghetom:	May 13th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	2 points
	A combination of stargate/age of mythology knowledge got me through here; although I was surprised quite how few I remembered (13)

	DWolf:	May 13th, 2009 at 23:03 GMT	7 points
	Isn't 'Amon' an common alternative spelling for 'Amun'?

	kaiohshin:	May 13th, 2009 at 23:06 GMT	2 points
	Started with Stargate deities I could remember. Still forgot about Hathor even though she had a major storyline with Daniel Jackson. Got Apep accidentally while trying to type in Apophis. Are they one and the same? Got Set(h) cuz of Stargate & Vampire: The Masquerade - Followers of Set.

	RavenEleni:	May 14th, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	2 points
	awesome quiz!

	Annie:	May 14th, 2009 at 01:28 GMT	3 points
	The fact that Amon wasn't excepted for Amun was discouraging.

	Djibouti:	May 14th, 2009 at 01:29 GMT	2 points
	By my count I got 7 from Stargate, 1 from Sandman, and a couple I knew otherwise. I like the quizzes that reward nerdiness.

	20/29...major thanks to the Dungeons & Dragons 3E supplement 'Deities & Demigods'.

	Iceberg:	May 14th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	3 points
	As previously stated, Stargate really helps with this one.

	jandl7:	May 14th, 2009 at 11:14 GMT	1 point
	all of them yes stargate pharoh and bordem succed

	R:	May 14th, 2009 at 14:18 GMT	1 point
	Respect to those who know all.

	Ribhump:	May 14th, 2009 at 16:00 GMT	1 point
	thanks stargate. Although apophis should be accepted as an alternative name for apep

	ChanandlerBong:	May 14th, 2009 at 18:23 GMT	1 point
	I just remembered "Playing With The Big Boys Now" from the Prince Of Egypt :D

	jawa88:	May 14th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	2 points
	thanks to the mummy =) egyptian mythology freakin rocks!!

	ntnon:	May 15th, 2009 at 00:30 GMT	1 point
	Haman Karn: Hmmm.... you might be right. Unfortunately, my best guess is that its the Ancient Egyptians and Egyptologists that have confused this all to the point of madness already!

	Stargateluv:	May 15th, 2009 at 01:18 GMT	2 points
	As stated a thousand times already, Yay for Stargate and Lost! And, I knew a few just from reading about it....I love mythology.

	chambers:	May 16th, 2009 at 21:33 GMT	1 point
	what, no imhotep?

	skylark:	May 17th, 2009 at 04:38 GMT	0 points
	34/29. Impressive.

	Michael:	May 19th, 2009 at 01:07 GMT	1 point

	Tank:	May 20th, 2009 at 02:14 GMT	1 point
	Thank the gods for Pharoah and Cleopatra.

	Robin Zhang:	May 20th, 2009 at 12:21 GMT	1 point
	I got within the 90th percentile thanks to playing Freespace 2. All the Vasudan ships are named after them.

	Extramental:	May 25th, 2009 at 06:35 GMT	1 point
	Lawlz, I managed to get ahead of the bell curve with a mere 8/29

	Extramental:	May 25th, 2009 at 06:37 GMT	1 point
	@helios: how did you get a bunch from that movie??? I mean, yeah, it's the Prince of Egypt, but come on

	thisisaname:	Jun 4th, 2009 at 03:25 GMT	1 point
	Min (also Khem) should be accepted for Khnum.

	siukong:	Jul 12th, 2009 at 11:02 GMT	1 point
	Haha, I got two extra for screwing up while typing Bast (Bes and Bat). Thanks, Neil Gaiman.

	trishtea:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 18:21 GMT	1 point
	Thanks Stargate, I got 6! Gutted I forgot Hathor though... As I think someone said above, what about Imhotep?

	kirarb:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 05:44 GMT	1 point
	@jack & trishtea: Unlike the others, Imhotep was a real historical figure. He was considered to be a god after his death, and was only officially deified 2,000 years later. Hope that helps!

	Vergil:	Oct 10th, 2009 at 20:16 GMT	1 point
	I think this might be one of the harder quizzes out there, considering the interchangeable pantheons of the ogdoad, ennead, etc. @ matty: Mut was eventually combined with the aspects of Hathor, which might explain her absence.

	RebeccaAMax:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 23:29 GMT	1 point
	Aaah! How could I forget Ptah, there are entire numbers in Aida about him!
