Anciant Egyptians worshiped many gods according to what they thought was important. The most important things were the sun, life and seath, magic, and the Nile River, their source of food. There were dozens of gods, each worshiped and "lived" in a different city, with a couple of important gods worshipped all over Egypt and who's temples were in the capital. They also believed that their pharaohs were "living gods" and were treated with great praise. They also had celebrations to celebrate a certain god. Priests and pharaohs worshipped and took care of the statues of the god that was said to be "possesed" by that god. When someone died, the Egyptians believed that they took a death journey to the kingdom of Osiris, the god of death (unsurprisingly), and must be judged by their rights and wrongs of life to enter. They thought that the body was required to be mummified and had to carry all they need to get to the kingdom.
