A. After Alexander the Great took over Egypt the two religions started to mangle with each other. Temples of Egyptian gods were build in Greece and of Greek gods in Egypt. During that era (called the Hellenistic period) new gods were created. For example Serapis a healer god, had his great temple the Sarapion build in Alexandria. There Greeks, whose religion was more anthropocentric, influenced the Egyptians into seeing their gods as more loving and less demanding. During that period we also have a mixture in art. For example we see statues of gods with Egyptian-like bodies and clothes but Greek-style faces. For example figures of Isis-Aphrodite or Amon Rah Alexander the Great.

How can I go about adopting Ancient Egyptian religion as my own?
Q. I see all modern religion as just ridiculous, and I've always been drawn to the idea of Ancient Egyptian religion but I can't seem to find any information on how to actually practice it. Can anyone help me? I'm not interested in Buddhism. And you have no proof that this religion is false.

Asked by joemcmcmcm s - Mon Mar 17 00:44:30 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Let's face it, Christianity grew out of Judaism. Jews were (supposedly) in Egypt as slaves for many years. It only figures that the people at the time would have picked up some of the Egyptian ideas/mythology and remembered it through the generations until Christianity arrived. For all we know Jesus and his followers were deliberately looking back to Egyptian myths when preeching and founding the early church because the ideas therein were relevant to the people of the time and worked with the message they wanted to project. Later Christians definately added the myths and legends of pagan peoples they encountered into their religion because it made converting the pagans easier.

Asked by Josh Hassan - Fri Jul 17 12:22:16 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Its a large topic but I hope this helps: Various evidence suggests that even very early Egyptians had concepts of spiritualism. The care with which the dead were buried in the prehistoric period, and the afterlife belief implied by that care, certainly suggests that the necessary intellectual sophistication was present. During the chalcolithic period, which lasted through most of the fourth millennium BC in Egypt, offers us our first clear evidence for a belief in gods. At least in the last centuries of prehistory the Egyptians worshiped divine power in animal form. Then, at the beginning of the historical period, the human view changes drastically regarding the superiority of animals. Apparently, mankind was no longer feeling subjected… [cont.]

A. Even before the Ptolemies came to power in Egypt there was a growing influx of Hellenic/Greek people into Egypt as mercenaries and traders. It seems a number of ethnic Greeks adopted some Egyptian customs or attempted to reconcile the Egyptian pantheon with their own Greek pantheon. For example, the Greeks equated the Egyptian god Horus with their own Apollo, Amun-Re with Zeus, etc. The Ptolemies, being politically savvy, did what earlier conquerors of Egypt had done before them, they took the religious aspects of Egyptian kingship and adopted them themselves. Thus the Ptolemies built temples, had themselves depicted as worshipping the Egyptian gods, had statues and various other depictions commissioned that reflected Egyptian artistic… [cont.]

A. Before Christianity God's chosen people was the Nation of Israel (Jews). Which means that startign with Adam and Eve, the only religion was true worship to God Almighty. It wasn't until rebellion in the Garden of Eden that there was ever any challenge to God's right to rule mankind, thus opening up the issue of whether God had right to tell mankind what is right or wrong or whether man would succeed on his own deciding for himself what is right or wrong. This is where the origin of religion apart from God's righteous standards comes into play. God tolerated (permits) false religion in order to test the sincerity and faithfulness of his own followers and prove the issue of Universal Sovereignty. Man was pretty much doing what he… [cont.]

Asked by Cleopatra R. - Mon Nov 27 19:25:07 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Religion guided every aspect of Egyptian life. Egyptian religion was based on polytheism, or the worship of many deities, except for during the reign of Akenaton. The Egyptians had as many as 2000 gods and goddesses. Some, such as Amun, were worshipped throughout the whole country, while others had only a local following. Often gods and goddesses were represented as part human and part animal. For example, Horus, the sky god, had the head of a hawk, and body of a human. They considered animals such as the bull, the cat, and the crocodile to be holy. Their two chief gods were Amon-Ra and Osiris. Amon-Ra was believed to be the sun god and the lord of the universe. Osiris was the god of the underworld. Stories about him revolved around the… [cont.]

A.
