Riddle: Who is the greatest of the gods ?


A king was called "Pharaoh" is ancient Egypt. A Pharaoh asked - 
"Who is the greatest of the gods ?"

"I am not" - said Horus (Horus is a god of the sky and kingship)
"Anubis is" - said Isis (Isis is a goddess of health, marriage, and wisdom)
"Isis is lying" - said Anubis (Anubis is protector of the dead)

The Pharaoh knew that only one of the gods is telling the truth - the other two were lying. Who is the greatest of the gods ?

  1. Chinu, you can consider one god telling the truth and check if the statements of other gods (lying) make sense. Try this with every god and you will see only one god is telling the truth and that is your answer.

    I had a picture drawn to explain this but apparently I cannot attach an image here.

  3. Anubis is speaking truth. Horus is the greatest god.
