Like the people of many civilizations, the ancient Egyptians believed in life after death (the afterlife). That's why they mummified bodies of pharaohs: so the bodies could stay intact on their way to the afterlife. When a person died they believed they needed a gold coin to cross the River Styx so they placed a gold coin on the tongue before mummification.

Also, Egyptians believed in more than one god. There were many Egyptian gods and goddesses including the top god, Ra the sun god.
