AnswerThe ancient Egyptian religion was both polytheistic and monistic, so having elements of monotheism. Nevertheless, when Pharaoh Akhenaten attempted to introduce a monotheistic religion, it probably had little influence outside his capital in Amarna, and did not survive his death. The Egyptians strongly believed in the gods of their ancestors and were simply unwilling to pretend not to believe in gods they 'knew' to be true.

What was the religion of the ancient Kongo people?

The Kongo people are one of the most religious in the world. According to new discoveries made by Nzil’Alowa, a modern academy of African traditional spirituality, the kongo religion, or Bukôgno, was of a monotheistic nature. This religion was in fact an exact science. This scientific nature of Bukôngo can be proven thanks to the kemetic cosmological argument. In fact the Bukôngo is the continuity of the religion of ancient Egypt, which can also be demonstrated to be an exact science. Of today, Bukôngo is the only religion in the world endowed with a natural systematic theology. More on this subject can be found in our youtube channel named NZILALOWA
