Polytheism emerged independently in various ancient cultures, such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and India. It was likely a natural development stemming from early humans' attempts to explain natural phenomena and their relationship with the world around them by attributing supernatural powers to multiple deities. There is no single individual credited with creating polytheism.
In modern society, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca and Taoism are the best examples of a functioning polytheism. However, many older religions can also be considered polytheistic. The word 'polytheistic' derives from Greek and literally means "many gods". Thus, any religion that reveres many gods instead of one all-powerful god is polytheistic. In general, polytheistic religions are extremely old, by which I mean people mostly only practiced them a long time ago, and most have since died out. We've come to know these dead religions as mythology, yet Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse and Sumerian cultures all took these myths extremely seriously. Eventually, the spread of monotheism (ie:Christianity, Islam, Judaism) gained momentum and converted or persecuted all but a few of the old polytheists.
Statues of people and gods were typically placed in temples, public squares, palaces, and tombs in various ancient civilizations like Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. They were used to honor deities, commemorate individuals, and display power and wealth.
The religions in Egypt at the moment is Islam and Christianity. These religions are not connected to the religions of ancient egypt.
