This is the rough draft, which is a hodge podge of my Neophyte grade work written assignment, strewn from various Wikipedia articles, and excerpts or names and detail from Bibliography resources. There is mainly Near East Gods and Goddesses, but plan to expand to cover the seven continents of larger countries gods and goddesses. This is not praise for the goetia, even though many claim they are "forgotten gods and goddesses of X origin". While this may be true, I will be presenting from a mainly anthropological view, not a pro-goet view. After the Near East, the next target is Greco Roman.
The rough draft:

Will be adding a List of Hittite Deities once I read enough about them and extract names, titles and so forth.
Too little is known of the Hittites, and most likely tie in with Mesopotamian gods and goddesses. There is good research and well written books, however it is not clear enough to provide a list of names.
So, onto Egyptian again, and the assignment at hand.
Then, onto Greek and Roman.

Will be adding a List of Hittite Deities once I read enough about them and extract names, titles and so forth.

Too little is known of the Hittites, and most likely tie in with Mesopotamian gods and goddesses. There is good research and well written books, however it is not clear enough to provide a list of names.
So, onto Egyptian again, and the assignment at hand.
Then, onto Greek and Roman.
