The Egyptians worshipped many gods and goddesses, so their religion was polytheism. They built magnificent temples for their gods. The chief god was Ra (or Re), the Sun god, who created the world. Horus got the throne of Egypt from Ra, his symbolic animal was the hawk. Hathor was the goddess of love, beauty and joy. Her animal was the cow. (She is depicted with a cow's head.) Sobek was the god of water, his animal was the crocodile. Osiris was the 'husband ' of Isis. Osiris once used to be the King of Egypt and gave grain to people. Later he was torn into pieces and put together again by Isis. But from that time on he became the god of the afterlife, i.e. the dead. His helper in the afterlife was Anubis, the god of embalming. Renenutet was the goddess of harvest, her animal was the snake. There were about 300 different gods and goddesses during the ancient history of Egypt. Their importance and role varied through times.
Once Pharaoh Ekhnaton tried to introduce monotheism with Aton, the only God. This attempt was relatively short-lived.
