Mythology


Egyptian Gods were a very important part of people’s live because they looked to gods for help. They prayed to them through statues, temples, ceremonies, symbols, and masks. There was a god for almost everything. From the earth to the sky. From Life to death. There were periods where only certain gods were worshipped because some kings banished the other gods. In the end all gods were remembered.
