Gods

Gods are very famous in Egypt and very important to them also. One of the most famous Gods in Egypt was Ra. He was the great Sun God. When a famous person died he would take their soul and weigh it against the feather of truth. If the feather of truth weighed more, that meant that you were not truthful in your life which meant you had to go to the under world.

Ra is a man with a bird's head. He carries the sun on his head, a spear in the right hand, and the unk symbol, which signified eternal life.

Another god was Osiris. Osiris was a high priest and he had many  followers. One day when he was sailing on a boat, somebody was jealous of his position, so they cut him up and tossed him in the ocean. His wife Isis saw a man with a bloody knife, so she knew her husband was in danger. She went to the other side of the boat and saw he wasn't there. She found his body parts in the ocean and pieced him together again. Then he and his wife became the God and Goddess of death.

There are numerous Gods in the Egyptian World. If you would abuse or break a certain object that was sacred to the Gods, you would be cursed by that God and hated by him or her forever. These are those sacred objects.
