Egyptian Religion
Egyptian religion was polytheistic, that is, they believed in various gods and goddesses, not in just one.
Isis y Osiris
The deities had naturalistic attributes from animals or the sun; half human (anthropomorphic) appearance, half animal (zoomorphic).
Egyptian religion included hundreds of deities. The culture lasted so long that many of these deities came and went or changed form.
RaIsis and Hathor
Anubis
Egyptian Gods
The Egyptians thought that there was life after death, or in other words, an afterlife.
The dead were buried in tombs (pyramids, mastabas, or hypogeum), some had rich grave goods. Thanks to that, we know a great deal about their civilization.
