Why were the egyptians careful not to offend their gods?
One must realise that for the Ancient Egyptians, the gods were part of every aspect of their lives. There were gods for war and childbirth, the harvest and the inundation, justice and the sun. They believed that if they served them in their temples and performed their daily rituals on their cult images, the gods would descend from heaven and dwell in their cult images and in the temples, therefore blessing and benefiting the people. In the time of Akenaten, when the temples of all the gods apart from the Aten were neglected, the people believed the gods had turned their backs on Egypt and when Akenaten died they were quick to reestablish their temple and the daily rituals in order to please the gods. Furthermore, the ancient Egyptians believed in 'Maat', who not only was the goddess of justice, but was the concept of Justice. If the people followed 'Maat', that they lived good and just lives, they would maintain the balance of harmony and would therefore be rewarded, in this life and the next.
What were the religious beliefs of ancient Egypt?
Egyptians had many gods (polytheism). They viewed pharaohs as gods on earth. They believed that the different gods and goddesses were in charge of various aspects of the world, life and death, eg. Osiris was god of the underworld. In order to keep these gods and goddesses on their side, they had to give offerings to them. Only priests and important people were allowed inside the temples. However, poorer people gave offerings to the temples. People often had private shrines where they had small statues and gave offerings. People wore amulets in the shape of gods, goddesses, or religious symbols, eg. Amun, Isis, or an eye of Horus. They believed that these helped protect them from harm.

What emotion was the first temple built by the pharaoh Ramses meant to inspire?
Ramses 1 and Ramses 11 both built temples for their own gratification and not to the glory of the one and only god. They were in honor of man made gods, but mostly for the honor of themselves. At the entrance of the temple built out of solid rock you will see that the colossi depict Ramses II seated with his hands on his thighs. There are no statues depicting the likeness of the one and only God who was unknown to the pharaohs at that time
Who were the only people allowed in temples to pray to the gods?
