Minor gods, some merely demons, were also given places in local divine hierarchies. During the 5th Dynasty the pharaohs began to claim divine ancestry and from that time on were worshiped as sons of Ra. Thus, Imhotep, who was originally the chief minister of the 3rd Dynasty ruler Djoser, was later regarded as a demigod. As the religion became more involved, true deities were sometimes infused with human beings who had been glorified after death. Similarly, when the Theban dynasties ruled Egypt, the ennead of Thebes was given the most importance, headed by the father Amon, the mother Mut, and the son Khonsu. Therefore, during the Memphite dynasties, Ptah became one of the greatest gods in Egypt. For example, the ennead of Memphis was headed by a triad composed of the father Ptah, the mother Sekhet, and the son Imhotep. Their importance increased with the political ascendancy of the localities where they were worshiped. In addition to those already named, the important divinities included the gods Amon, Thoth, Ptah, Khnemu, and Hapi, and the goddesses Hathor, Mut, Neit, and Sekhet. Gradually, they were all fused into a complicated religious structure, although comparatively few local divinities became important throughout Egypt. The origin of the local deities is obscure some of them were taken over from foreign religions, and some were originally the animal gods of prehistoric Africa. This group was worshiped at Heliopolis, the center of sun worship. The greatest ennead, however, was that of Ra and his children and grandchildren. Every local temple in Egypt possessed its own ennead and triad.
Some of the Deities as we term it for want of a better word, of this period were Horus Isis AMON Amon-Ra, Raįrom this belief of creation came the conception of the ennead, a group of nine divinities, and the triad, consisting of a divine father, mother, and son.

See the links below of the summary from those that have studied ancient Egypt. The Egyptians depict brown people on their walls so it is fair to say from evidence that there were a large number of black people in Ancient Kemet at the time. The Youtube video by Mfundishi Jhutyms entitled The black Gods of Kemet teaches the Kemetic practises.
It was Egypt ’s most prosperous time and marked the peak of its power. The New Kingdom followed the Second Intermediate Period and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period. Egyptian civilization followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology ) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, Narmer (commonly referred to as Menes ). It is one of six historic civilizations to arise independently. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in the place which is now the country Egypt.
