From my diary : about Egyptian Mythology and Religion


Egyptian religion was polytheistic.The Egyptian gods can be understood in terms their cults and in terms of their cosmic dimensions.Most gods had cult places in many Egyptian temples.In most temples one god was linked with other gods.The temple was the resting place of the gods imagined as the image of the cosmos with the god's house.Creations of the Gods is the main topics of Egyptian theology. Several concepts are known tied to a town: Memphis, Heliopolis, Hermopolis. Cosmogony is a mythic tale describing the creations of the world and the settling of the natural elements of the universe. Besides the major cosmological systems there were also minor cosmogonies known to us from quotations to text they syncretized other known systems of the universal Egyptian gods.
