Best Answer

Ancient Egyptians worship was a form of syncretistic polytheism, except briefly during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten , who became an uncompromising monotheist in the 14th century BCE. The economic distress that occurred at the end of his reign was seen as a warning from the gods and his successor restored the ancient beliefs.

They were fully polytheistic. Even in the reign of Akhenaten, though all of the heavenly gods were subsumed in Amun-Re, the Pharaoh himself was still considered a god.
