Isis:
Her origins are uncertain but are believed to have come from the Nile Delta;
however, unlike other Egyptian deities, she did not have a centralized cult at
any point throughout her worship. First mentions of Isis date back to the
Fifth dynasty of Egypt which is when the first literary inscriptions are
found, but her cult became prominent late in Egyptian history, when it began
to absorb the cults of many other goddesses.
