A comprehensive review of the religious texts; pyramidtexts(l), coffin texts(2), and book of the dead(3), reveals that numerous names of characters, who resemble gods, appear inthese texts having no reference in the other texts or in the inscriptions on the walls of temples and/or tombs. The ancient Egyptians, in their life, did not express any petitions or prays to those characters indicating doubts about their god-being and whether they were gods acting in the netherworld or they were spirits who had a definite duty in the netherworld. So, they will be dealt with as the so called ”godlikes” in this paper.Among the godlikes under this study whose names frequently appear in the religious texts, NQ.b-IGw, M3-JJ.3.f,andCqn are the godlikes to be considered in this respect.
