* TheFourGods: While the modern configuration was settled much later, the earliest known depiction of any of the four gods was found in a tomb dating back to 5300 BC. Inside to the east and west of the human remains were clam shell and bone mosaics depicting figures resembling the Azure Dragon and White Tiger respectively, the cardinal gods of the east and west respectively.

As with the example in Top God, no idea what this is talked about and internet research turns up nothing. Unless an actual description or link to something is given about this supposed god of gods, I assume it was made-up by the editor.

* PowersThatBe: While most gods had several names, more mysterious forces [refuse to] show their faces now and again. The ancient Egyptians largely eschewed naming or visually depicting their concept of the god beyond the gods for most of their history.

** It is also possible that several Egyptian monarchs were themselves overweight, but the art does not reflect this; ancient Egyptian depictions of the ruler always emphasized physical fitness, so we can only guess based on the archaeological evidence which if any pharaohs were more rotund than the art lets on. Ironically, one of the pharaohs most likely to have been fat was Hatshepsut herself; a mummy believed to be hers (though there are some doubts) shows notable signs associated with ailments of obesity in old age. As Hatshepsut took especial pains to ensure she was always shown as very fit, the contrast with the mummy is interesting.

* HateSink: Apep/Apophis in Myth/EgyptianMythology stands out for being one of the few gods the ancient Egyptians ''never'' worshiped - which makes sense as Apep was a GodOfEvil, an OmnicidalManiac, an EldritchAbomination, and pretty much the BigBad of Egyptian religion. The closest thing to 'worship' he received is priests burning effigies of him and spitting or stepping on figurines of him. It was common for Egyptians to pray for Apep's destruction at the hands of Ra.

Centuries later, another royal advisor, Amenhotep son of Hapu, royal tutor and then ''de facto'' chief minister to Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, got a similar treatment, being venerated around Memphis as first a demigod and then a god of healing.

* AChildShallLeadThem: Child monarchs are probably as old as monarchy itself. The earliest confirmed example is Pepi II Neferkare of the Egyptian Sixth Dynasty, who took the throne at age six sometime in the late 23rd century BCE, but a few other earlier Egyptian kings of the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties (about 200-300 years before Pepi) may have been minors on taking the throne.
