This could be like saying "Why was religion important to the Egyptians?" or even "Why is religion important to modern Americans?" It simply is.

There was a short period when Pharaoh Akhenaten imposed monotheism 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. Polytheism having been restored, Egypt prospered.
