Gods, Temples, and the Journey After Death
Religion shaped nearly every aspect of ancient Egyptian life.
Egyptians worshipped many gods and goddesses, each associated with different forces of nature, social responsibilities, or aspects of existence.
Ra — The Sun God
Ra was associated with the sun and the forces that sustained life. The sun’s daily journey across the sky helped inspire Egyptian ideas about renewal, order, and the cycle of existence.
Osiris — Lord of the Afterlife
Osiris became a central figure in beliefs about death, resurrection, and judgment. His story offered hope that death could be followed by renewed existence.
