E-raamat: Luxor Antiquities Guide

The subject of the religion of the ancient Egyptians is one of the most interesting and captivating matters, despite its great complexity. It is no surprise that it is the subject of the religion of a people who lived far away in the city, and whose civilization lasted for nearly five thousand years and holds the first place among the civilizations of the world. Man is by nature inclined to look for something to take refuge in and resort to whenever he is in need. This is why it has been the custom in the history of history for each Egyptian village to take a symbol of itself, making it an emblem of its aspirations, to which it offers duties of obedience and loyalty. Since some of these deities had special advantages, their influence soon extended beyond their regions. The more powerful and powerful the village became, the greater the authority of its deity, until some of those deities became general deities in Egypt, and religious myths gathered around them whose creators were attributed to the most ancient times.
