Currently, Egypt is predominately Muslim which is Monotheistic (One God), while Ancient Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt and Unified Egypt all had polytheistic (Multiple gods) religious attributes. Compare it to the Norse Paganism and Christianization.
ancient Egypt was mainly polytheistic, though some Pharaohs strongly promoted the worship of a particular god to the exclusion of others (example: King Tut's father, Akhenaten, introduced a system that essentially continued to recognize the other traditional gods, but regarded only a single god ... Aten ... as worthy of worship; this is called monolatrism and isn't quite the same thing as monotheism but is close). Typically, these departures from polytheism did not last more than a generation or two.
Modern Egypt is about 90% Muslim with the remaining 10% being mostly Christian ... both monotheistic religions.
They were polytheists and they practiced Polytheism most of the time, so Polytheism.

Polytheism predates Monotheism, and was pretty much found everywhere before the rise of Monotheism. Formalized Polytheism famously developed in places as disparate as Europe, India, Egypt, Scandanavia, etc, with various guessed at connections between them and the more widely known Greco-Roman pantheon of gods.
The difference is monotheism is belief in only one God and polytheism is the worship of many gods.
