The revival of polytheism in ancient Egypt is often attributed to the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ascended the throne after the controversial monotheistic reforms of Akhenaten. Akhenaten had promoted the worship of the sun disk Aten, leading to significant religious upheaval. After his death, Tutankhamun and his advisors restored the traditional polytheistic beliefs, reinstituting the worship of the pantheon of Egyptian gods and rebuilding temples that had been neglected during Akhenaten's rule. This shift marked a return to the established religious practices of ancient Egypt.

What effect did the Reformation have on the beliefs that had existed in the middle ages?

Except for the belief that there was only one acceptable way for a Christian to worship God, no beliefs were changed that I can think of. Science, exploration, mercantilism, and nationalism had already changed many Middle Ages beliefs before the Reformation began, and the power of the Catholic Church was lessened. The Reformation was about getting back to the basics of Christianity, and doing away with the corruption and ceremony which had become associated with it. The Catholics who became Protestants called the Catholics idolaters, and Catholics who remained Catholics called the Protestants heretics. No surprise that this disagreement became violent, but otherwise people stuck to their existing beliefs.
