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.
