Ancient Egyptian Religion: How were the Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses Worshipped

Ancient Egyptian Religion incorporated so many different aspects; mythology, spiritualism, science, magic, medicine psychology and herbology. With so many different facets, Ancient Egyptian religion was completely integrated into the lives of every single Egyptian. The Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses made up a pantheon of over 2000, and they were all worshipped differently. Some of the most popular Egyptian deities were Amun, Isis, Osiris, Horus, Bastet, Anubis and Hathor who were all worshipped in temples. However, other popular deities such as Ma at, Seshat, Heka and Bes didn t have temples constructed for them, which meant religious observance of these gods was a personal and individual affair. The complete integration of Egyptian Religion into the everyday lives of the Ancient Egyptians and the worship of many different gods for many different things meant that the disruption of the system by Akhenaten (a period is now known as the Amarna Period) would have been very upsetting.
