Well, it should probably be known that Egyptian gods aren't like what westerners think of as "gods". Egyptian gods can die, they're not all-powerful, all-seeing, etc. So, while the gods might have some powers (to be decided later), their only appeal is that they have a connection with the antagonists, which might lead to good drama. They're not exactly "elite" characters, they're just characters that you can google and get a basic idea of their personalities and such, which you can't do with characters you make up yourself.
