My research topic is on ancient Egyptian religion. My main focus for this topic was on how Egyptian polytheism affected the everyday lives of the ancient Egyptians. I feel that my topic is interesting because you can see how this ancient civilization functioned and how they incorporated religion into their daily lives. I have always been fascinated with Egyptian culture but what I love the most about Egyptian religion are the gods that they praised. There are so many gods that they worship, but above all my personal favorite is Ptah, the Egyptian god of creation.
In ancient Egyptian religion, the kings or pharaohs were thought of as gods, sons of gods, images of gods or could be described as like the gods. Some pharaohs possessed names like "Son of Ra" to show the link between man and god. In worship, the kings were the only ones that could speak directly to the gods. The overall effect of ancient Egypt excites me, and I may want to further study this subject in the future.
Your topic sounds very interesting. It is very interesting to me how they worship so many gods.
