You can find out more about ancient Egyptian mythology by reading "Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends," by Lewis Spence - available at Amazon.com for as low as $5.74; "Egyptian Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Goddesses, and Traditions of Ancient Egypt," by Geraldine Pinch - also available at Amazon.com for as low as $12.22; and "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," also available at Amazon.com but a bit more expensive because it includes numerous color photos of ancient papyri from the original funerary scrolls.  FYI:  I'm a writer, musician, and journalist, but I do not work for Amazon.com  Their website is simply an excellent source for books and music.

why don't you try www.mythman.com? I have found it very interesting especially since it is humorous and gives a modern twist on old legends(not that the old legends were boring in any way!).

Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology' is an excellent source for Greco-Roman myths.  It also has some stuff about Norse mythology  It's a good-sized book, too....not just some little picturebook.

Religion guided every aspect of Egyptian life. Egyptian religion was based on polytheism, or the worship of many deities, except for during the reign of Akenaton. The Egyptians had as many as 2000 gods and goddesses. Some, such as Amun, were worshipped throughout the whole country, while others had only a local following. Often gods and goddesses were represented as part human and part animal. \n\nFor example, Horus, the sky god, had the head of a hawk, and body of a human. They considered animals such as the bull, the cat, and the crocodile to be holy. Their two chief gods were Amon-Ra and Osiris. Amon-Ra was believed to be the sun god and the lord of the universe. Osiris was the god of the underworld. Stories about him revolved around the idea of immortality. Osiris was the god that made a peaceful afterlife possible. The Egyptian "Book of the Dead" contains the major ideas and beliefs in the ancient Egyptian religion. Because their religion stressed an afterlife, Egyptians devoted much time and wealth to preparing for survival in the next world. \n\nThe Egyptians had many tales about how the world began. According to one legend, it started with an ocean in darkness. Then a mound of dry land rose up and the sun god Re appeared. He created light and all things. Another version has the sun God emerging from a sacred blue lotus that grew out of the mud, while a third version has him appearing as a scarab beetle on the eastern horizon. \n\nTemples were considered dwelling places for the gods. They were everywhere. Each city had a temple built for the god of that city. The purpose of the temple was to be a cosmic center by which men had communication with the gods. As the priests became more powerful, tombs became a part of great temples. Shown below is a typical temple flood plan with the purposes of each section given. \n\nThe priests duty was to care for the gods and attend to their needs. The priests had many duties such as funeral rites, teaching school, supervising the artists and works, and advising people on problems. \n\nThe Egyptians saw death as a transitional stage in the progress to a better life in the next world. They believed they could only reach their full potential after death. Each person was thought to have three souls, the "ka," the "ba," and the "akh." For these to function properly, it was considered essential for the body to survive intact. The entire civilization of Ancient Egypt was based on religion, and their beliefs were important to them. Their belief in the rebirth after death became their driving force behind their funeral practices\n\nWhen a person died, the priests recited prayers and a final attempt was made to revive the deceased. The body was then washed and purified in a special shelter called an ibu. The body was then taken the wabet, which was the embalmer's workshop. A cut was made in the left side, and all the organs were removed and stored in containers known as canopic jars. The body was then packed with a salt called natron for a period of forty days. After the forty days had passed, the insides were filled with linen or sawdust, resin and natron. The body was wrapped in bandages with jewelry and amulets between the layers. A portrait mask was placed over the head of the deceased by the Chief Embalmer, who wore a jackal mask to represent Anubis. The wrapped body, or mummy, was put into a coffin. \n\nAfter a period of about 70 days, in which the mummification process took place, the mummy was placed in a decorated coffin. Furniture, carved statues, games, food, and other items useful to the next life were prepared to be buried with the mummy. The last ritual performed by the priest on the mummy was called the "Opening of the Mouth." This ceremony was to magically give the deceased the ability to speak and eat again, and to have full use of his body. After placing the mummy in the sarcophagus, the tomb was sealed.

There's not terribly much out there on the web.  This is what I could find:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=chibcha+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=muisca+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\n\nThis book is out-of-print, but there seems to be one used available on Amazon: \n"Some folk-tales of the Chibcha Nation" by Malbone W Graham\n\nThere are more (also out-of-print) books listed at Amazon if you search for "Chibcha" or "Muisca," but they are all in Spanish.

As far as I know they only had myths that were first passed on as oral traditions and then later written down. Specific temples might have had writings pertaining to the god who the temple belonged to but I can't see too much of that surviving to present day.
