Describe some of the religious beliefs of Egyptians and the significance of the pyramids.

Explanation:

The ancient Egyptian religion consisted of the beliefs and practices that were carried out by the Egyptians in Ancient Egypt. The religious beliefs of the Egyptians were extremely relevant and considerably influenced people's lives. Because they were polytheists, the ancient Egyptians believed in several gods.

Two very important characteristics of the Egyptians' religiosity were the concepts of maat and heka. The first concept defined the importance of living a correct life in order to maintain a harmonious existence in the universe. Heka's concept was related to magic and affirmed its importance both in the creation of the universe and in the manifestation of the power of the gods.

The gods of the Egyptian pantheon were represented in three different ways:

Anthropomorphic: human form.

Zoomorphic: animal form.

Anthropozoomorphic: human and animal form at the same time.

Among the main Egyptian gods, Horus, Ra (sun god), Isis (goddess of fertility), Anubis (god of the dead), Maat (goddess of justice) and Bastet (goddess of cats and fertility) can be highlighted. Each god performed a different function, as well as having specific priests responsible for their worship.

Belief in life after death and mummification

A central element in the religion of the Egyptians was the belief in the continuity of life after death. The Egyptians believed that earthly life was just one step on a journey that would continue and that, therefore, it would be necessary to take it in the most just way possible. The acts performed in life, even, were extremely important, as they would define the destiny of each person.

About the pyramids:

The three main pyramids that reached our contemporary civilization are: the pyramid of Miquerinos (approximately 2471 B.C.), that of Quefren (around 2500 B.C.) and the pyramid of Cheops (around 2530 B.C.). These three monuments constitute one of the main historical elements of Ancient Egypt, revealing to us the organization of Egyptian society, the construction techniques, the architectural and mathematical knowledge of that civilization.

For Egyptologists (scholars of Ancient Egypt), the pyramids were not built by slaves, but by workers who received a payment different from the wages of current workers. Each pyramid demanded huge numbers of workers in the production and displacement of blocks of stones that weighed more than a ton (1000 kilos). The time for the construction of the pyramids was long - sometimes a pyramid started to be built by a pharaoh (the main political and religious leader in Ancient Egypt) and he ended up dying before the construction was completed.

Death and the passage ritual were extremely important to the Egyptians: life would be eternal, not death; this would be a gateway to the return of life. Tombs were important to Egyptian civilization, as they represented the home of eternal life - when the person returned from death, the tomb would be their new home.
