The ancient Egyptians believed that Egypt was the center of the earth and the place for the creation of the world. Each Pharaoh entering the throne released four birds: north, south, east and west, to inform the world about the beginning of his rule. Famous people became Pharaohs, but the Egyptians imagined that the Pharaohs were gods. The Egyptian society reminded the pyramid, which at the top was the god of Pharaoh, and the bottom layer of the lower layer was the slaves.
For the Egyptians, the pharaohs seemed omnipotent and omnipotent. All the land of Egypt and its treasures belonged to them only. The Pharaohs directed the irrigation work, the army, concluded a peace treaty, and allowed laws. They controlled the trade and managed the fleet, headed the court. The Pharaohs were mostly men, because sons took over the throne from their father. Sometimes he went to women - his wife, daughter or mother.
Jews were very important in Egyptian religion. The Egyptians believed that their graces would be received by the gods. It was believed that the gifts and people's wishes to the gods are transmitted by the wise men. Over time, they accumulated enormous wealth and began to influence the country's management. Through the peoples of the sovereigns of thebes, the goddesses of the sun god Amon have accumulated so much wealth and gained so much power that they almost equaled pharaohs. The kings equaled the nobility who served Pharaoh. These were field governors, tax collectors, army commanders, ministers and other officials. The supreme commander was a visor.
The Egyptians worshiped not only pharaohs and witches, but also other deities. Because their religion was polytheistic, I was a godsend of many. However, the most important were the three who formed the dominant holy trinity: the god of the sun Amon Ra, the king of the dead, Ozir, and the god of the heavens and order, Horus. Worshiped and glorified gods like Isis, Seth, Hator. Each god was responsible for a certain area of life or a verse. The Egyptians also worshiped animals, binding them with certain gods: oxen, crocodiles, cats, snakes, storks.
