Ancient Egyptian Religion And Religion

Religion is something or someone you believe and worship. Religion is like being apart of a family and feeling loved. Religion provides mental peace, describes individual suffering, social solidarity, promotes welfare, gives recreation and strengthens self confidence.Theres many stories about every religion from a long long time ago, from myths, dead and gone. Everyone has a reason and are born with faith. Some people don’t understand and need to learn more about faith. It is neither obtained nor taught; it is a part of our everyday life. The feeling of belonging needs a lot of effort and patients. To accept as a friend or member. There is a range of beliefs and religions in the world like Catholic, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and many more.

Since there is a lot of religions in the world, they all have different views and ways of praising who they believe.

Like Ancient Egyptians that it is very important to amuse and entertain their gods and goddesses. So thats why they worship their deities a lot. But even though they have different ways of celebrating and worshipping their gods and goddesses, every religion is still the same by having the same characteristics like praying, important events, asking for forgiveness, and many more.

As for my topic, Ancient Egyptians believed in myth stories like Osiris and Isis that seems to be the most known myth in ancient Egypt. They believe in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth; As a Human being. Osiris and Isis are pretty much like role models to Egyptians. Egyptians did also believe in the spirit of the dead that journeys to the underworld, where they’ll be judged if they are worthy to be re-birthed or be devoured by a gruesome

crocodile.

Back in the past, Egyptians buried the dead straight into the ground. The body would become very well preserved because of Egypt’s climate where it was sandy and dry. This is when the Tombs came in… In the end, kings, queens and rich Egyptians would build tombs also known as mastabas. Although since the tombs were mud-brick, the body couldn't be preserved as it was when it was in the ground. Then Egyptians tried to find a way to make the dead body become preserved. Thats when “mummification,” came in; which is when they covered the body with linen. From time to time, sometimes they would wrap the wrapping with plaster that the Egyptians shaped for it to look like a person. Mummification was very expensive, so only pharaohs and very wealthy people could afford to be preserved. Sadly Egyptian commoners would be buried in the sand in normal cemeteries.

There is mostly positive and accepting attitudes and there is a smaller amount of negative attitudes. Its all because of Lack of education, bad influences on media and many more. In my viewpoint we can shift all the negative attitudes by telling and showing more about ancient and indigenous religion; and also by accepting and understanding more about these religions instead of judging by what we’ve heard and seen from others.
