There are many: the Egyptians believed in an idea that is pretty close to what Europeans later called "The Divine Right of Kings." This means that the Kings (Pharaohs) weren't just ordinary people who happened to have a throne, but they were special and they had privileges from gods which gave them the right to rule. Because of this, the common Egyptian people followed their leaders' absolute authority for the most part. The Egyptians believed in multiple gods who had multiple areas of responsibilities (such as crops, death, birth etc.)
There was a brief period of time where a ruler named Akhenaten threw away the beliefs in many gods in favor of worshiping one god, but this was later undone and the Egyptians returned to their old religions. They believed in an afterlife, and there was a special book which contained all the information that a deceased person would need to successfully overcome the obstacles of the afterlife so they could enter what we might call "heaven."
