...just a few thoughts on the subject.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the concept of different levels
of godness. Of course, the Egyptians may well have been and that
is the more important point. One suspects that Egyptian youth may
have needed a few years of seminary school just to learn how to
blaspheme properly. It could certainly get confusing.

Only part of the discomfort is the suspicion that it would be diff-
icult to get the social cohesion to tackle massive projects for kings
who differ significantly from other gods.

There's a lot of talk in the PT of two enneads with Osiris leading
the ennead on Earth. He was born on the first day of the inundat-
ion which occured in no year because God had forbid him to be born
on any day of the year. These gods would be simpler to understand
if the creation Gods were of the heavens and the gods of Earth had
a physical representation. Other gods might have been ascended kings.

Obviously there's no requirement that these be easily understood.
