Many of the egyptian gods are associated with animals. what are some of these animals? why do you think these particular animals were included in the egyptian myths?

Well, Horus had a falcon head, Bast was a cat goddess, and Nekhbet is the vulture goddess. The Egyptians believed that these animals had special powers, and the personality of the god or goddess depended on the animal they stood for, like Anubis had a jackal head, and helps with the Underworld (i guess that's what it's called). Hope this helps!

In Egypt, the Egyptians believed certain animals had special powers, and the gods and goddesses acquired the powers and personalities based on the animals they were associated with. 
 
For instance, Ra, the sun god was represented with the head of a falcon (Or a hawk in some cases). 

Another example is the goddess Bast, who was the goddess of cats. She was represented as half feline, and half female.

Commonly, the Egyptian's gods were half human, half animal.

Hope this helps!:)
