No, not necessarily specific but how ANY individual concept or god arose.

I'm trying to get a feel for how the structure came into being. Right now
all I have is the idea that they created Gods as they found them and then
shared them as it suited their interests.

I'm still trying to grapple with the idea that the kings became gods when
they died but apparently changed their names. Are any of these king's names
known after death? Were they assigned some area that wasn't already taken
by older Gods like perhaps "God of Craftsmanship"?

I'm trying to get a better handle on these to better understand the Pyramid
Texts. There's little choice but to better differentiate the deities in my
mind but it would help if they had more "personality".
