How does one add photos onto here also? There's some other Egyptian gods and demons I've been thinking about adding onto here.

This is missing a lot of other gods and demons. Also, isn't Medjed a god? I don't think he's a demon.

Also I see the "Asshole Victim" trope on Osiris's tab has been removed due to the lack of source. I can't provide a source online myself to add to this so I won't add it back on, but I actually do recall hearing a few versions of the myth where Osiris actually did (drunkenly) r*ped Nephthys and upsurped Ra. So I can say that variant of the myth does exist somewhere. I know it exists as I've done a lot of research on Egyptian mythology and I know plenty of gods and demons that aren't even on here yet like Ikenty, Fetket, Apesh and Sehaqeq.

— WHAT - No "PTAH" ?!? . . . obviously, you've never seen the minmax roster rendered in the Dungeons and Dragons' tome "Dieties and Demigods" — in which Ptah has been portrayed, most charismaticly, as the Universal "Smithy" or "Potter" a partner and compliment to Thoth - both co-creators of the cosmos . . . ((on a more erudite note — i DO happen to own a copy of "The Aegyptian Book Of The Dead", BTW)) . . .

Isn't the division between Primordial, Main, Minor, and Beasts/Demons/Spirits/Miscellaneous a bit... arbitrary? I can spot multiple examples of entities who fit in at least two of those four sections; in fact I'd wager at least half of them do. Apep and Ra, for example, fit in three! And the deciding factor between "minor" and "major" deities seems a bit arbitrary as well, considering there are obscure deities in the "major" subsection and well-known deities in the "minor" one. I don't want to start an edit war, but I think the organization of this page needs MAJOR revision.
