The "gods" worshipped by ancient Egypt included the Nile, cows and the sun (see e.g., Wikipedia's entry). These definitely exist as physical entities.
One of the goals or effect of the ten plagues was to show God's dominion over these entities. The Maharal explains one break down the plagues in three groups
- those coming from below: blood, frogs and lice
- those coming from the same level as man: animals, pestilence of livestock and boils
- those coming from above: hail/fire, locusts, darkness and the death of first-borns.
In total the plagues demonstrated God's total dominion over the entire world.
