With over 25 Gods, Polthesium is found as Egypt's way of worship. They belived that it was their duty to preserve their dead to prepare them for the after life. They particularly did this with their Pharoes that had passed away. The Pharoes were rulers in ancient Egypt, and the people felt it was necessary for the pharoes to be preserved for life, so that they could rule in the afterlife. The pharoes dedicated a lifetime to building monuments that would watch over their people, and pyramids as burial chambers with room for everything that they needed for the after life.

The Egyptians spent most of their lifetime deciding where to place their tomb. The pharoe Kafre for example built his tomb so that the tip of the pyramid connected to the constalation Orions belt, even though the pyramid does not light up, the sight is dazzling. Another example is Ramsess II tomb that still lights up on his bithday.

The Egyptians belived in six Gods that would help them in the afterlife, they also believed that there were six important aspects that made up the human being:the physical body, named the ka(spirit), the ba also known as the personality and the akh, a symbol of immortality. Each one of these elements played and important role in the well being of an individual. All of these elements were necesary to achieve rebirth in the afterlife.Cryptonic jars which held the organs, represented some of the gods;Fmset, which held their liver; Ha'py, which held the lungs;Duamutef, holding the stomach, and Qebehesenuf holding the intestines.

Over time almost all Egyptians could afford to be mummified when they were dead. This led to a total of over 70 million mummies whithin a time period of 3000 years. Around the fourth century AD, many Egyptians converted to the christian religion and no longer felt a need for mummification. This means that the Egyptians gave up their art of mummification. Unfortunately most of these mummies were plundered by grave robbers looking for treasures wrapped up in the bandages. Some mummies were later ground into powders to make "magical potions" in the Medieval Ages.

In the beginning, Ra sent Osiris and Isis to Egypt to teach the people goodness. Osiris was murdered by his wicked brother Seth, who scattered his body across the land in 14 different pieces. Isis collected the parts and magically bound them together with cloth strips, making the first Egyptian mummy. Isis then became a bird, and enfolded Osiris in and brought him back to life.
