About 60, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pantheon.

Na.... the 12 "canonical gods" (personality types) were
graphically depicted as men with the heads of various
animals:

You _did_ say a dozen _demigods_, a term which technically excludes the
full-blown gods and godesses. But if you get to pick and choose which
are on and not on your list, it's hard to argue with that. It is rather
interesting that despite making it up as you go along, you choose 12 and
not 13, thus disproving yourself.

The Roman Pantheon had approximately a dozen demigods and

Easily several dozen.

Again, you did state demigod, not god, and you chose 12 and not 13.

the Greek Pantheon had approximately a dozen demigods, and

Easily several dozen.

Once again, you did state demigod, not god, and you chose 12 and not 13
by chosing one grouping of the Dodeketheon.

We're not interested in "small fry" gods made up by Joe
Blow some local artist.

So why did you specify 'demigod'? Besides, all those gods were as much a
part of the Greek religion as Apollo.

the REASON for this is that there are PRECISELY 13 SYMMETRY
AXES IN A CUBE.

Except three times in a row, you come up with 12 and not 13 gods.
Or do you redefine the word "twelve" to mean "thirteen", just like you
redefine the word "exist" to try to prove your point?

The ancient GREEKS were actually one god short. 7%
accuracy was good enough in their day.... modern science
requires greater accuracy, so 13 is the correct number of
demigods.

No answer to the rest of my post? Does that mean you realize I am correct
and just want to argue who should/shouldn't be on the list of demigods?
No list of religions with 30 demigods? Won't share your scientific
sounding gibberish generation technique with us?
