Religion and worship in the era of the Pharaohs

Religion is a social phenomenon created by the first man under its influence and its association with some of the forces of nature and manifestations, and are being forced to move closer to a target purpose of increasing their benefit or harm reduction, this was not closer to the top based on devotion to the consecrated, and they were the forces of nature in the sun and the moon and the sky and the earth, wind, etc., The manifestations were by his environment, and is in the wild or domesticated animals and birds, trees and plants, and so there were many deities and different in essence

 The ancient Egyptian feel the presence of these forces and improve their impact upon, the impacts of some harmful and some beneficial, but when he chose some of them to holy, because I think it's a whale something powerful and divine in itself, in the sense that such a force of unknown origin have chosen this animal is embodied in it. However, the Egyptian did not sanctify the animal agency, but chose to model one for this purpose, for example, Abd al-Baqarah "Hathor" crocodile, "Sobek" but did not find anything wrong with being slaughtered cow to feed its flesh and use them in the field or kill the alligator in self-defense

 It was formed when ancient Egypt are two types of gods: the gods of the universe and the local gods, and gods are local, which played a key role in the faith of their proximity to him and influenced directly by each region and became the idol of his own

And continued the case until the country united under one king, and there appeared a third type of the gods. Idol of the State, which was originally a local deity, then governor of territory that could impose its sovereignty over the whole Egypt, and necessitated the Egyptians all that we may sanctify his idol, therefore, becomes a god the whole country

Egyptian religion was marked by religious rituals quiet, calm environment influenced by the nature of the Egyptian, who helped the ancient Egyptians to think to get to know the secrets of the world we live in and wonder how they are created the earth and the beginning of life on it and what it might be the sky and the stars. This has led to the presence of many of the theory of creation of the universe in Heliopolis and in the Memphis In Ashmunein

 The Egyptians take their own god, and therefore dominated all government affairs, was his law, which is the sole mediator between the people and the world of the gods is also a High Priest of all gods

The Egyptians built huge temples to the gods of different, and entrusted the service to a number of priests, their mission was to care and idol to his daily ritual is different. We believe that the Egyptian gods like humans eating and drinking, and having intermarried, any worship that were directed to the statue of the god incarnate in his or animal which symbolizes the

 The divided Egypt in the Pharaonic era to 42 South County 20 and 22 in the north, each with a local holy trinity consists of regionally and his wife, the goddess (goddess), and son

 In Luxor there was "Amon" and death "and" Khonsu ". As for Memphis, there was a" Ptah, "and" Sekhmet "and" Nfrtm "of what is known as the gods of local regions of the goddess of the State is the official local deities, which become kings of their boycott of kings of Egypt. We find, "Amon"became the official deity of Egypt in the era of the modern state. Petah was the god, either formally to Egypt in the Old Kingdom

There are gods of the universe like the sun Great "Ra " and the moon, "Ah, " There is also a "Note" goddess of the sky and "Show" Lord of the air and "Jeb"the god of the earth. And some of them had a cult on the ground and the temples and priests such as "Re" but others were not a worship on the ground or temples or priests

It was the nature of the work of the priests or the clergy from being in the middle between the gods and the people, they were a place very high and those with great influence, allowing them control of the Egyptian society of all classes of less Egyptians place a popular class that came to the kings themselves, bringing them a high status excelled in some cases, the status of the kings themselves are in some ages in control in matters of state, and are subject to the Kings for their power and Ibdlonhm as happened after the age of the king "Tutankhamun" tradition of the military commander the throne of Egypt, which is not related to the royal family or take some of them of governance as happened during the family Fifth after the appearance of sun worship and the intensification of the influence of the priests of the god "Ra

 In addition to worship goddess of the minimum types there was also another kind of gods, a goddess to other world or the goddess of life with after death there, "Osiris, Lord of the underworld or the Lord of the dead and cascade down beneath the other gods of the underworld and the dead, such as" Anubis, "the god of the cemetery and" Maat "goddess Justice and other gods

As for the ancient Egyptian belief in eternal life after death, I think that death affects only the outer flesh, but spirit is there, which forms the body of the deceased with a bird flying to the sky and there was a "spouse" and remain with the body in the grave.

The work of the Egyptian Yahia seconds to preserve the body and provide Balthanit cemetery full of tools, furniture and food, with the belief in immortality in the fields of "Auxerre" Yarrow ", a paradise has been likened to the land of Egypt
